@droenn I did think about it, but could not be bothered with posting twice!
I’m currently on a Satori DL and was hoping this 134 would be a burlier version of that with the Beamer suspension platform rather than the Flex Stays, particularly the steep seat tube angle which I’ve become very enamoured with.
As comments from the negative nancy’s on MTBR suggest, it appears like a short stroked 153 rather than a new model.
(I’d be pumped for this assumption to be wrong)
The NX is such a kick in the teeth, my old Process 134 DL was XT (which I despise) but to not even have GX on your highest Alloy model is pretty average.

We must have very different opinions on pros and cons of bike design and specs

Yeah screw him
JT yep we sure do. I am a pretty crap home mechanic so I need stuff to be ultra simple
I have a $20 tool to do the job vs a new one. Brakes can be swapped easy with out needing to dismantle. I am also considering that box 9 speed stuff above if the quick link can be opened by hand. I need this kind of simple stuff because I am a complex soul

Yeah, frame only would be very tempting!Also want (except for the wheels, fork, brakes, drivetrain and contact points). Didn’t see a frame only option listed

Think there is a cheapy on gumtree for around 10,000
Could definitely live with that.

New warden!
Do want. I’d have a ride on most others in this thread, but this one I’d buy if I was in the market.
