Recently I’ve been getting low trail curious or more specifically I’ve become very interested in the Lightning Bolt canti frame from Crust
I’ve read some reviews in the 650b and Bob groups, also read Jan’s review in BQ (thanks Eric!) and after speaking with a friend at the LBS who owns one I think it’s a worthy option. He said it’s the most fun bike he’s ever ridden and he’s got some nice rides to compare. Sadly the deal at home is that one has to go out (Ram or Gallop) to make room for a new bike. Anyone here has experience with both the LB and the Ram which would be the one to go? How would it compare with my orange Ram (the lightest of my builds with no racks and 33.33 tires)? I have a 60 Ram and would buy a large LB although I could straddle an XL for a more French fit. Im interested in hearing your impressions other than trail which I don’t want to get into a discussion about. What do you love/hate about the LB? Or about the Ram? I should also mention that I have quite a few options on the more burly side of things in my quiver: hunqa, bomba and more in the middle a wilbury. This is not a bike that I plan to use for carrying weight or to go single track riding. It’s mostly a road / pavement bike with the occasional gravel. I would use 42’s RH on it. The other alternative I could try is getting RH extra lights to replace my jack browns on the Ram to give it another shot and see if I can get a more spirited feel. So far, it’s been a great bike but even though I love it: feel, color, weight, setup… I don’t think it’s far enough from my Gallop or even my Wilbury to make it the go-fast, no racks bike for me.
