@jmtd I almost got a Cascade last year but couldn't really justify the cost over a Sonder. Still wish I got the cascade, but I don't use the Sonder much either, so I guess I did the right thing :)
@ross can you explain the key differences between Cascade and escapade? Besides no drop bars. It’s too subtle for me!
@jmtd the cascade is a ~2000 mountain bike with drop bars. the geometry is *very* close to the original Solaris 29er hardtail. lots of big clearance and slightly slacker geometry than the escapade. cascade is monstercross/hardcore gravel, escapade is road/gravel. yes, they're pretty similar!
@ross I once put an order in for the tonic (ti escapade variant) before realising I hadn’t paid off the escapade yet so couldn’t use a cycle to work scheme for the tonic. The one that got away…
@jmtd https://www.cotic.co.uk/cascade/ is interesting for the background
