Great bike and article. Alot of press about this release. But think Pete missed a few things..

"They've worked to update geometry over the last few years, but there's a balance between updating your line to reflect modern times and making such drastic changes that your shop's faithful customers all of a sudden have to realize that last year's Large is this year's Medium."

last years large reach is 460.... this years medium, 462.

Also " so it would be unforgivable if there were any spec lowlights, and there weren't any. "

As others have mentioned, Fit4, cheap saddle and 350/in house hubs for a 12k build... livable short term compromises, but I'd change these out in the first season.

If a poc feel like they don't have enough brethren within the sport, the only person they should be pointing the finger at is looking at them in the mirror.

I recently went with a 36t up front with a 11-42 out back. Shifting was alittle off but I moved the chainring closer to the frame and now everything is just dandy. Have all the range I need and will never go back to 2x or 3x.
