Alias 20.2 - Pro 4's / Saints

[Brettoll]

In my hunt for a bike that covers an "all round" kind of riding - picked this up in the summer. Timing as always, had a baby, so poor things only been ridden twice in anger..

True to its creation.. it handles what you throw at it, hops, manuals, spins, gaps - just completely chuck-able, if a little twitchy sometimes! Great spec from the previous owner:

Alias 20.2, Rockman Forks, Hope Pro 4's on Trialtrech rims, Saint brakes (savage power).

Looking forwards to some better weather and time in the NY to really put it through its paces.

I like this a lot! Always wanted to try one myself, as you say, looks super chuckable. Too bad Alias is sort of out of business now.

I know.. as seen in the other threads, the sheer lack of materials and increasing costs just killing lesser covered sports, guess they have to consider the wider parent brand and what is actually cost efficient..

Shame, as this frame and the 24" they did are pretty cool!

Hopefully with the upcoming bike industry crisis, the companies will focus again on niche products and passionate people instead of benefit. At least I think it will be easier for small brands to obtain production capacity.

But maybe I am too naive.

Very nice, this was a frame a really wanted, nice to see it built with what looks a 19" rear wheel, most I've seen are 20/20"
