Good point about bikes being pretty settled now. I think we are seeing "features" that exist primarily to make a bike different in appearance more than performance. I think my next bike will be along the lines of mid travel bike. Good review. And well, since you asked for it. Did I tell you about the time I chased a creaking sound on my road bike in the 70s? After checking every component one at a time over about two weeks it turned out it was the metal watch band rubbing against the metal watch case every time I hit bumps. I discovered it one evening at supper time when I shook the salad dressing with my left hand.
