MadManMike Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Carbon or not, that's a pile of junk. You could buy a £140 bike with the same spec, but a steel frame, and probably wouldn't notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I rode my buddy's carbon Bronson the other week and reaaaally couldn't tell a difference to my Five, obviously the geo felt funny for 5 mins but after that I wasn't blown away. It probably slots up hill easier but I thought it flexed the same and took hits the same. Couldn't really see the upshot and the extra 2k it cost him or whatever.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I can't see me buying a carbon framed mountain bike anytime soon. The way I keep my bikes in the garage, the use of bike racks, the way I use them on the trail I just don't trust the stuff. I've got a carbon road bike but it's not exposed to the same potential hazards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
