Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

What BikeExchange lists, and what it has today

This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size. This shop prices each size separately.
