Excellent review. I purchased the frameset only. I didnt think about it as an adventure bike, but that is a perfect idea!

Nice one mate it’s a shame you can’t post photos on here

Just ordered in the matte black with all of the upgrades you mentioned: comfy seat, riser bars, platform pedals, bottle rack. Seems like it'll be great for both commutes around the city and light trails. Thanks for the tips!

I have a frameset, going to build it up soon. -780mm race face wide raisers bars -All city cranset -velocity dyads rims (im a heavy rider) -fabric saddle -a pair of gravel kings -funn mountain bike stem -origin 8 front rack with ILE bag -white industry freewheel -odyssey bmx chain -shadow conspiracy bmx pedals Not sure of seat post or headset yet. All parts listed are on my beater

Right hand, back brake is what I've always known to be standard as an American. Didn't realize it was different in the UK!

Really? That’s interesting. 🤔 since I was a kid. Having mountain bikes and BMXs, left lever was the back brake… ah well haha

I think that motorcycles are set up similarly but I have yet to start my "small collection" to find out. In due time.

Brits are weird. They're also driving on the wrong side of the road :D

I have one of these with the navy and gold frame. I switched out the saddle to a brooks and put odyssey pedals on ad I absolutely love it! Great for riding around the city or taking it out for longer rides.

What's Poppin I'm from Texas I got the same bike same color frame is a 52 I change the 42t chain ring to a 52t chain ring BMX pedals no strap I'm going to change the seat as well I want to change out the drop bars to a bullhorn other than that it's a beast I prefer the freewheel as well oh and swapped out the factory tires for some 700×42c gumwall's happy trails

I actually do have a heavy fixgear bike no name brand frame 54m I think? I originally got it for a friend he up graded and sold it the girl then gave it back to me ? Now it's my trash bike. And kicks butt !

With riser bar look more nice for me👍👍👍

FYI Countries that drive on the left have the front brake on the right. The most dangerous move is a right arm signal turn, so it was deemed safer to brake the rear with the left hand. You could go over the bars with hard front braking. Vice versa in countries that drive on the right. Simples 😊

Just bought the bike , but what can you recommend on a proper wheelset to make this thing go faster & lighter , I put sum renthal carbon risers & a Ritcheiy 25 mm set back seat post & sum sim works pedals I had in my parts bin , thanks for reviewing this , made my decision easier,cheers from Chicago

It really depends on how much you want to spend really. If you have the disposable money you could get lighter parts. It also depends on what you use it for. Im sure there’s some crazy wheels like Zipp that would make it lighter but you don’t wanna get it stolen if you leave your bike outside locked up often….

Hey, also from chicago(south side) Maybe get some carbon or aluminum parts? Definitely invest in some mid profile wheels for weight reduction but rigidity. I’m actually planning to buy some Essor wheels for my 4130. I got the previous version of this model.

I am no expert, but love and respect bicycles/bicyclists. I have to ask, why did you flip the rear tire? Is there a specific reason for that? I'm looking forward to ordering a Core Line

@@dcrijo ah well it’s a “flip flop hub” which means on one side it’s a fixed cog and the other has a freewheel. During my review I wanted to test the bicycle by using both sides

I rode 175 mm cranks on Major Taylor velodrome for years. Depends on the track.
