Topic starter
 

Launched today (at Roc d'azur) - they have a 26er 140mm FS and a 29er HT : both in steel tubing with a slightly odd looking mixture of straight and curved tubes

Oui/non? Doesn't really tempt me!

Theres something about the bouncer thats getting my excited! Wonder what the price would be... Looks like the ferrous lovechild of a Nomad and a Cube Stereo.

That One 4 All bike is a weird kind of beautiful!
For about 30 seconds I thought it was horrible, now I love it!
Also, for a French bike company there's a lot of British bits on them, which is nice. Also the Reynolds tubing.

I normally love all bikes. But that hardtail has made me question my stance.

Needs a basket on the front.

In a word; hinging.

Not for me either but I did like to see this on the site

All frames have a lifetime guarantee with the guarantee transferable from owner to owner

I'm with DBW, there's "something" about the full bouncer. Wonder how flexy that back end is though?

First hardtail I've seen that's designed to look like a full suss, rather than the other way round.

That music is diabolical in the video.

The whole video is arse. Not a single shot of the whole bike in view, a focus pull on almost every cut and if you can't do a smooth focus pull don't do one.

I agree.

Would like to know what the prices & more detailed spec will be.
Interested in the frame weight as well, more from a curious POV than anything else. Will 853 build into a decent weight FSer?

The HT really is ugly though.
