Would like to get my hands on one.blooddoc23https://www.blogger.com/profile/04100867181336267718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-25698124439632402162018-03-01T22:54:51.286-05:002018-03-01T22:54:51.286-05:00As the aluminum frame does not have dropped chain ...As the aluminum frame does not have dropped chain stays, I am afraid the chain stays might be very narrow near the drive side BB area (to clear 45c tires) This implies lateral flex and power loss compared to the beefy chainstays in the carbon model. <br />Riding the aluminum model would make it clear.
