Funny though, all the new "adventure" bikes have the same geometry - long, low, and slack, with plenty of room for 622x42 tires...
Okay, I had to search up what 'slack' meant. I don't really notice much difference in handling between it and my other bikes.
I thought about putting on 42 mm tires on it, but wasn't sure if there was enough room between the seat stays, so ended up putting on 37's. It looks like there's plenty of room left.
Mine was a hand-me-down from my sister who was way too small for that frame.
