Having a Devinci Spartan and extra wheelset already to go, this bike came out 6 months too late, damnit.
Tried the Rootdown a few months ago to see if it was different than what I remember of riding the old school HT and it was. Couldn't get a steel frame at a decent price so got a Commencal Meta HT but of course, 12x148 so I had to get a separate wheelset for it.
Now, I would love to have the Knolly but do I want go through the work to sell the frame and wheels to justify the ability to limit my wheels? The Commencal is still alot of fun but (and, I never thought I would be one of these guys saying this ..) I like the feel of a steel frame. Guess that officially makes me a bike nerd?
I do wish all of my family's bikes was one standard across the board, especially in this COVID parts drought, to simplify everything.
