The only thing I don’t like about all these bikes is they always mount the bottle bosses too high on the seat tube. Should be as low as possible for centre of gravity and also fitting in bike bags.
You're absolutely right! Side entry and Fidlock type holders can help, but if you're running a large frame bag, extracting the bottle from the holder can be an issue. It's pretty much the same with the bottom tube! I've mounted a Fidlock bottle holder on the top tube of my Titus, that works quite well! ✌️
@@mokotramp glad you agree! I just don’t understand why they design it like that it makes no sense lol. It’s a nice bike though I have been obsessing with the idea of getting one. Is yours a gloss or Matt finish?
@@KOL630 It's matt. The video doesn't do it any justice, it's a cracking colour in the flesh. It may look glossy in places due to the heli tape. It rides very nicely, those extra long chain stays make it pretty stable at speed off road. Certainly no slouch on the road, too! I'm pretty sure you'll love it, steel feels so good off road! ✌️
Love the build. Do you know your saddle hight from bb centre ? I'm between sizes also and can't make up my mind . 🤪
Hey, many thanks!
The saddle height is 745mm from the centre of the BB. ✌️
