Any chance to test Polygon carbon frames? I am the proud owner of a Strattos S8. Every cyclist advised me not to buy this bike... tbh I'm not a skinny guy and this frame seems pretty solid, no problems carrying my weight which is 98 kg. I'm very curious to see how good their frames are. It's a pity that they only offer a 5-year warranty.

Hi Jourdain, how long did it took for you to recover from epididymitis? Thanks
Much appreciated brother

Monocoque doesnt mean "one peice". It just means that the structural elements are integral to the body. So you can glue as many pieces together as you like as long as the body is all part of the structure. Not molded all as one necessarily.

Thank you for this very informative and professional breakdown. Awesome stuff. This geeky science stuff what made me subscribe to this channel at first place.

Hiii, do you know anything about bicycles from Twitter or about their carbon frames in general?

1st: This is not flagship, Giant's flagship will always come with ISP.
2nd: Surprisingly how the clean is the internal of the frame. I have see quite a few v4xs and Dxgma F with significant more leftover resin and carbon compared to this.

I heard the lack of weight in listings is to avoid potential litigation if the weights vary, which they always do. I thought it was more specific to certain countries though (e.g. US).

I woulnder if abyobe repairs those warranty write offs

[Questioneverything]

I am confused. Since industry changed alloy to Carbon dropout he doesn’t see people needing to repair that section anymore…
So this should be a good thing right? Then why is he not fan of Carbon dropout?

wow i still remember 3k would buy you a top of the line bike, nowdays is just crazy

[jaredgrubbs]

Advanced pro was mid grade, not top of the line- that’s the advanced SL frame.

I want a frameset built by Rob... (or tucked together from all of the dead stuff lying around in his attic)

[lomicwind]

I wish I could find those cutted frames around me. Buying it 60£ and then I'll repair it. It would take 200gr but who cares...

[Ssssept]

Hi, please reply my emails, I never heard back from you regarding the progress of the test of our bike.

[christosandreev]

How is it possible to be the top of the line bike for 3k pounds? Are you sure about this? It seems too low for a top of the range bike.

[allemyr]

I think it isnt really correct to say that the frame is 6 years old.

That Propel carbon frame was launched in 2014. And noe its mid december so I think it’s more fair to say that the frame is almost 10 years old.

top end aluminum beats out cheapest carbon every time, and you save money too

Yawn 🥱…
Same stuff each video … either cutting up a frame or building up a Chinese bike 🥱
