Second sentence in missuse of literally.

And like all these concepts great idea then your bike is never in the setup you want at that moment.

Changing fork and refitting the derailleur as "adjustable geometry"?

It's hardly a Bionicon, is it?

Actually, the magical moving front mech is pretty cool.

So it has sliding drop-outs and you can change fork length/offset - what is so clever about that?

Can any sliding dropout frame not just do the same with a fork change?

Alloy cx forks for adventure? Surely that's when you need more comfort...

They don't list the tyre clearance for adventure mode. Or the frame weight.

I'm out.

Nothing particularly, but no-one else is offering it.
