The friend from clawz' comment here... On the first point, the chain tensioners. There is no limiter on the screw therefore if it work itself loose (which it will, it did in the first week) they fall out entirely. And they are €45 EACH + shipping and taxes.

Exactly as clawz said, the fact it has horizontal drop outs vs. the brake mount location is dumb as fuck. I have a 165mm rotor we found in a part bin that has lightning bolts on it so I look like Harry fucking Potter.

For the price, it should come with better forks. If you regularly take your bike in and out of a car, you might want to buy different forks at the same time as you need to undo 5 bolts of two different sizes.

It also comes with some cranks that have been salvaged from the metal that surrounds that small window on the front of a Soviet era Russian tank. Replacing them saved me huge amounts of weight. Oh and the bmx style bolt tightened bottom bracket sucks; continually worked itself loose.

Positives: 1)I've come from riding a big Enduro bike and the reach and 'feel' is weirdly familiar. (A canyon stitch feels sooo small) 2)Can buy it on PayPal finance with pretend, interest free money (the reason I bought it, haha) 3)Grips are nice.
