I bought a Cube in 2020. I've just checked: the equivalent 2024 model, with pretty much identical components, (but a full 3% lighter!!) is exactly 60% more expensive.

Yeah, pass. I can wait another 5 years without a new one.

I bought my Giant Warp DS2 in 2004. I still have it. There it shall remain.

There isn't a damn thing wrong with it (and it's motorized now). 26" wheels were good enough for our forefathers, so they're good enough for me.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
