Man, I’m lusting over the TR 29 at the moment. No frame only option on the AU website though.

It’s funny they don’t offer that like the OS sites. The AM was the same.

Been riding a bit of this rocky tech stuff lately and the Meta just hugs the ground, where the Strive would bounce and buck its way down. So planted.

That's just because heavy & gravity

that line looks sick!

 

[BT180]

Pretty gnarly. Pics don’t do it justice as per usual.

Looks fantastic.. I love it when they run the top tube and chainstay in one continous flowing line.

 

[BT180]

Thanks. Yep, agree. My Strive had that line also.

Pissed off the thin, hard Ride Alpha grips and am taking a punt on some RevGrips. These are the Pro Series in 34mm diameter. I've always had hand soreness and I find a wider diameter grip helps, but thought i'd give these a go, seeing as the reviews I've seen seem pretty positive. Time will tell, but so far they're very comfy.
