Certainly is.

How long until someone wins a major event on one?

Nice! Even looks decent. That is a great job!

Every time I see those tyres I get this in my head

Liking that!

Question - what is that black tube on the (drive side) forks? Spokes but it seems very thick

You know the blue blob is called Berk - not Burt right?

Which may explain why it's not on TV much any more :)

Cables for the dyno I'd be guessing

USB charger too in the top cap

With all the mounting points, it looks like that piss-take someone made in Photoshop the other day!

Agreed, a lot of "features" for the money though.

Like has already been said, surprised Trek let the name/ number go ahead..

Looks like a great spec bike for the price.

Might need to try get a seat on one and see frame size and geometry as was looking for a new bike.

If only they did a full frame bag for it but fingers crossed it’s coming soon.

With my weight weenie hat on it must weigh a ton - 33 bolts for a start - that must be 300grams....

cracking value though - even to buy it and strip it!

Supernova · Post by **Supernova** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 11:47 pm

Amazing value for money. I don’t need one, but I can’t resist a bargain...

ScotRoutes · Post by **ScotRoutes** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 12:22 am

SRAM and only 1x.

I'll pass.

Gari · Post by **Gari** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:07 am

Sram 1x would be perfect for me( in fact it currently is, on 2 bikes) Tempted for commuting actually.

Even the colour... it'd be funny if the mounting points matched the racks from the 1120 as well!

Can you copyright numbers'?

I thought one of the reasons the Pentiums stopped saying the processor speed was because you cannot copyright numbers but you can with say P1 , P2 etc

Not sure where the SRAM* hatred comes from nor am I aware of the vast array of double gravel/adventure bike options.

* I have SRAM and Shimano on both MTB and drop bar and dont really have any opinion on either as they both just work.

Peugeot using "X0Y" as their model names gave us the Iconic 911 as opposed to the 901.

Back to Sram vs Shimano. In the dim and distant past the Sram on my Spearfishing was pretty ropey. Everything I used in the last couple of years has been spot on.

Can't say I miss 2x offroad either.

When the prototype of these bikes were mentioned on here a while ago, I seem to recall that they did a flat bar version too. I can't find these anywhere on Decathlon's website, does anyone know if they've been ditched?

There's a photo of one of the flatbar ones in the recent ADVNTR.cc article. I think they're more aimed at town riding, or easy touring, given the photo...

jameso · Post by **jameso** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 11:41 am

Not 1x only is it? I think it'd be crazy not to have provision for a front mech on a touring bike. As to what the complete bike comes with, wgas, 1x sells better these days whatever the pros/cons.
