Down on the left!
I’ve got an NS Eccentric chromo that I love like it’s my firstborn. I never wish it was lighter and faster or made of aluminium. I don’t wear Lycra and go for uphill KOM’s but it goes uphills very well. When I come off my 160 full squish it feels like a light XC bike.
It was the first real bike I built from frame up. Made a bunch of mistakes and learnt a few lessons along the way.
It handles the rough stuff really really well and also became my saviour during lockdown as my bike path bike.
it’s also helped teach my kid to ride by carrying her on the Macride and then her chasing me on her own bikes.
All this is irrelevant to the question asked but I can’t talk about my NS without getting all misty eyed.
So I will never sell this bike. I have no interest whatsoever in changing it out for a lighter aluminium bike. What was the question again?
If the OP is thinking about a steel frame then stop thinking and just buy it. I promise you’ll have no ‘Ragerts.’
