So Andrew, why do you think this industry always goes for "the absolute best" rather than a wide array of options?
I came to the conclusion the "performance" mtb side of the industry isn't big enough to keep on offering all the options through time, but then why not supporting older technologies to keep those options alive without producing them?
In my quest for a new bike after my Carve i've bought two really different bikes, checked countless online, from all the most obscure brands, and only a one digit percent would offer me something i would be happy to pay full retail on.
I mean it's 2022 and i struggle to buy a 27 wheeled, non carbon, under 450 reach, under 1200 wb, 65ish hta, size M bike.
