Looking for a sub-2k bike for wife. Sale on a 2017?

Got altachic's yesterday. The frame is dead sexy in meatspace with really nice lines. No hint of shipping damage. The rear end color is less yellow than it appears in photos, more of a metallic gold and it looks great. All the welds appear to be high quality, pivots solid and flush, etc. 32# with the stock pedals (which are quite decent, actually, though we have no plans to use them) per a digital bathroom scale. So, yeah, not a featherweight, but tubeless will probably drop close to a pound off that. Considering that going lighter with an alloy Bronson or similar will cost you somewhere around $1000/lb I'm not complaining.

Bronsons are weighed tubeless since they come setup that way. DBs are weighed with tubes.

Glad it's looking good for ya. I really need to clean / grease my pivots on my Release....

Got mrs. rootskier's sitting in the office lobby. I don't think I am going to do the elaborate unboxing at work but stoked to hear dan's report.
