... with no room for a water bottle in the front triangle?
I don't understand product designers who think this is a good idea, especially on an entry level bike.
Not everybody uses them, but most like to have the option (putting carbs in a camelbak bladder make them go pretty gross after a few uses) and I reckon you're limiting your market.
I wouldn't have thought a beginner/entry level rider would be bothered about carbs in their water, John.
They're more interested in going out for a couple of hours fun with mates. Which to me seems to be what this bike is designed for.
When or if they get more serious about doing endurance racing, they'll probably upgrade to a different frame.
Probably right but most beginners I've seen around the Dam usually have a bottle on their bike, often with gatorade (and accompanied by a big-ass saddlebag for their spare tube and puncture kit). Camelbaks typically come along later.
If they can't carry water conveniently they are unlikely to ride for long.
I just reckon not making provision for a bottle cage is a bit thoughtless. It's been a show-stopper for me for a couple of bikes that I was looking at, that were otherwise brilliant rides.
That Ellsworth I reviewed back in 2012 was one. I notice the current model now has room for a bottle.
and you'll see mounts on the down tube for a bottle cage
Yup. Right where the horse poo and other trail crud gets chucked up by the front tyre.
it was going to be pretty
looks like a pretty great bike for what its meant for to me ... well done to poloygon ... Also you can get camelbaks for like about $30 if you shop around so really not an issue to anyone I would have thought
