Short travel dual suspension frames for the modern huckwit

[DMan]

To get slighlty back on topic: what are the reasons not to get yet another Spitfire?

For price, performance and compatibility it seems to really stand out. Its a lot cheaper than the 5010, Scout and the new Flare.

I can only think that the colours are meh and no space for a bottle cage inside triangle.

No bottle cage no dice

The bottle cage glass ceiling really isn't that hard to crack.

Well that looks so attractive and reliable.
Surely if they could have fitted one in at the factory, they would have?

Centrally mounted shocks that can transfer their forces into a nice big tube does amazing things for ride quality and how the chassis itself absorbs hits. There're a lot of really good reasons to do it.

Reliability, they're reliable enough for 150mm smashing in BC.
Attractive, utility is an attraction in a class of it's own.

Man, if you were that desperate surely you could just ride with a small camelbak.

The only thing you should wear on your back is a god damn cape for sending it!
Needs to be a little bit more Napoleon up in here, and a little less Brudenell!

@Cardy George will be along in a minute.

You never fail to dazzle.
How do you go for longer riding then? Multiple bottles?

I'm quite sure you are completely loveable and charming

Ease up on the arse kissing!

I'd love to see someone charge a rock garden with a bottle cage...

Physical conditioning?

Imago dei!

Even I can't make a drink bottle last 5 hrs of riding.

There's plenty to go around Poodle . I do. Just I have a real cage mount on my bike. My fidlock hasn't let me down yet.

Agreed, I consider dying of thirst over putting that in a bike and telling myself I'm happy.

Yeah me too. Plus I just don't how I'd carry the stand? I COULD put my Henty on it though and let gravity do the work!

Wears a fullface and sunglasses, but worried about image enough to die instead of using a strap on water bottle.

Don't you wear a fanny pouch?

I have no issues with strap ons. Each to their own I say!

Brudenell was the Earl of something or other, he never wore a cape.
