So yes, it feels nice and light, and I'm definitely a fully rigid kind of guy these days.

Probably 1x drive train and maybe even tubular steel BMX cranks?

I thought so. High without being BMX high, steel rather than aluminium, which I like and my favourite part, they have a lot of cheapness!

Looks interesting... rather like the old Sunn B-Mix, which was clearly 20 odd years ahead of its time!
