it’s this.
I liked it because it was one of the only ‘gravel’ bikes that isn’t just a cross bike with more mounts. It has a more slack hta.
the build quality is really there and the zen dudes seemed really cool.
this bike has a 1.5" ht but I think the stock fork is 1 1/8, not tapered. which doesn’t matter, but you can option up to an envy and lose the bosses.
Could also use on sup’s endpoint with non tapered baseplate and save having to mod an enve.
Will keep it filed away for future reference.
I’ll prob see zen dudes at the burrito cart tomorrow
Did every road bike have discs?
I was impressed with most of what Tim brought for Shamrock bikes. And I know who is getting that paper plane bike. I guess there are about 585 hand-drawn planes on it or some such.
I liked this dope ass strider bike.
And the internally routed travel eps bike. Interface hidden in the stem, which evidently perplexed the rep coz ‘how do you know the battery status?’

The fork is taller than a normal CX fork so it needs to be used with an inset lower HS cup, thus the straight steerer. If you use a normal CX jawn with a tapered steerer you use an external cup and it makes up for the height difference.
Also, Curtis Inglis knows exactly what the fuck he’s doing.
Cool report. Thanks!

[quote=turpencat] lundbeck lives like 5 miles from me. So he showed up. He makes some pretty stuff.
this yellow isn’t to my taste but I’d rather fight over geo and construction than color.

OH HELLS YES.
This settles it for me. Cherubim for me – they go TAF like nobody’s business.
they were hands down the most TAF and tasteful-trendy guys. A good mixture of NJS and modern.
Prices are relatively reasonable too. Under 3 bongs. With the TAF paintjob, maybe 3.5k?
TAF paintjobs are more than 500$ atme
