what bikes are making you feel a bit reckless, financially?

the slash 9.7 looks like a lot of fun, tom.

They really wanted to get a bottle mount on that yellow Santa Cruz.
Are they back in fashion?

Very happy with my 2016 Occam AM but these look lovely! The 29er TR in particular.

Orbea have really upped their game.

The swing links in those Santa Cruzes look ungainly.

Well I'm definitely not buying one, but this is closest to my desired geometry...

Those colours though, what were they thinking?

Similar pairing to mikewsmith for me, except I'd choose a tallboy in the new mango colour instead of the Hightower LT

If I'm trying, you're succeeding. Now stop being a child and get back in your box.

The Orbeas [i]are[/i] very nice. Not a big enough change to tempt me off my 2017 Occam AM though. Nice of Specialized to copy the suspension/rear triangle design for the new Epic too.
