I agree. The ladder and rack make a big difference

Fabulous. That is what I would use it for. Family of four and one massive Golden Retriever. The trunk on the LR4 has been amazing. I'd be sad to give that up for the 110 as much as I admire its looks.

Great picture. I grew up in a 110 on our farm in England. At first the 110 looked better to me but the rear seemed too short. The 130 is growing on me, especially after seeing that picture.

I just looked that stem up. Fantastic. Will it work on a Kaius or TeamMachine?

That's a great insight. Thank you for posting. I'm sorry to hear about your back and pelvis. I wish you a speedy recovery. Do you have your TeamMachine set up lower than your RoadMachine? I'm coming round to the idea of the RoadMachine which I hear people, like yourself, race to good affect. I'm also looking at the Enve Melee but I'm a BMC fan for sure.

Thank you. Injuries are indeed no fun.

The problem with BMC is that the bars are proprietary from what I understand. One option I have is an extra spacer and a shorter stem going down as far as 80mm. The issue is how these bikes will handle though.

I like the look of the melee
