Ok have sorted it out and have now been able to access their websites But was told on another forum that the DS1 has a screw-on freewheel which means that the rear axle will be vulnerable to breakage; it is symptomatic of this bike in general
Both DS1 and DS2 models are unnecessarily heavy (for your intended use) IMHO because they have rather heavy front suspension fitted. Most experienced cyclists wouldn't bother with suspension for your intended use.
This has got me a little concerned as i dont want to buy a bike then find I have problems a few weeks down the line
What do you guys think?
