Nervous about the $$, but I got a $4200 bike for$2699 to my doorstep with Race Face Chester pedals. Not bad. 14 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a good deal. I was really hoping to get a blue like the Eville Calling or one of the Kona Process models; I already have an orange bike. But the specs are pretty much what I was looking for. The carbon frame was just a bonus. And the price made me buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 3, 2018 Share #36 Posted May 3, 2018 Take a look at the bottle racks that mount to the back of the saddle. The rack mount is about $5 and you bolt your existing battle cages to it. They come in singles or doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps it from getting nasty. I use tablets for electrolytes and bars or gels for nutrition, so still no bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing it's not good for is DH class schralping where you have to get off the back of the saddle and get low for nasty downhills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
