Thanks. Are those plastic or plastic/aluminium laminate?
Look at that, even
Evans doing a 584-rimmed groadbike as well as a city bike. Well done Evans for not skimping on tyres as that is some of the most expensive rubber out there.
These road plus marketing blurbs read like back issues of Bicycle Quarterly, right down to the vocabulary (supple this and that, herringbone etc). The only word that´s missing is "spirited". Behold the power of Herr Heine.
Seriously though, I´m a massive groad/road plus fanboy and fully agree with Heine that this trend (hopefully it lasts) is a massive improvement on the silly hegemony of the narrow-tyred roadbike that began some time in the nineties.
Friends keep asking me what one-bike policy machine they should buy and I keep telling them to get one of these. Do they listen? Do they f&#%. They go out and buy a front suspension hybrid and then moan that they´re too slow.
Discs obviously acted as the catalyst to this boom, but I´d like something as cheap as the London Road framest (picked up mine for 110 quid) with V-brake bosses at the correct height. Vs are powerful enough and cheap and don´t make that awful noise for miles after ploughing through a muddy field.
