That the Chamois Hagar?This may be my next.
This is a gravel/ almost XC bike. You want room to be able to move and control the bike.that's fkn hot
can someone explain the geometrical benefit of the top tube angled
downward as in the bike above as opposed to more horizontal?
Road bikesYou've never ridden a bike?
Never said that.Lives in La Jolla on nurse wages, can't afford a bike.
Yeah, if you want a non-walmart type bike.I checked out the Canyon stuff - looks like the cheapest bike is $1,999.
Is that basically what the entry level pricepoint is?
Kinda tough entry point for something I've never done.
Smaller frame triangle and shorter chainstays stiffen the frame, which means the force from the pedals will be transfered directly to the rear wheel without sapping the energy along the way, like a flexy steel frame would (tho some people like that).that's fkn hot

If you can find a good shop I'd recommend demoing some bikes before you drop a bunch of coin. It will also give you a better idea of what type of bike you'll want for your local trails and what size, etc. Oftentimes shops will apply what you've spent on demos towards a new bike if you decide to buy from them as well.I checked out the Canyon stuff - looks like the cheapest bike is $1,999.

That is one of the ugliest bikes ever built.This may be my next.
Sloping top tubes normally look good on bikes but there's something really aesthetically odd with this one.That is one of the ugliest bikes ever built.
But probably one of the most functional and fun, as well.

Maybe the proportions and the steep seat tube combined with the stupendously long seat post.
The geometry is the same as the modern Enduro bike.I think it's the raked out fork and the long wheelbase that make it look odd. Like a dirt jumper masquerading as a road bike. 2-3 degrees less would make it look better. But I know evil enough to assume it works.
A quick head check can save your life.
I think the top tube angled downward means it's a lady's bikethat's fkn hot
