in the UK we have a similar bike but in drop bar called the pinnacle Arkose which can take 700x45 tyres with mudguards and this is currently £650 but this has Thru axles and I could modify to flat bars if I ever felt the need.
do you think the toughroad will go for thru axles next year?
I'm not sure what Giant will do with this bike. But I do think they are missing the ball on this one on two fronts... It should be offered with thru axles and there should be a carbon version.
