Deviate

Post by Taff »

I've just been out on a shop ride and one of the riders was on a Deviate Guide, I'd never heard of them before and damn, it's a good looking thing in the flesh...and a 12 speed pinion gearbox :thumbup:

Weirdly I don't much care about the looks of a bike, but the riding. Hence nearly buying the fairly ugly G180.

That Deviate doesn't do a lot for me. Top tube is too straight and too bendy both a once and that gap too big.

The chain/gearbox setup freaks me out but I do like the idea of them though

Mate had a Zerode for a few years and he really misses the gearbox.
