It looks like he had an absolute blast on that bike. I'm very happy for him. Polygon has done a lot for helping people get out and ride without breaking the bank. Looking back I wish I would have started with them but I was new and had no idea who they were. I don't regret the bike I have, but it would be cool to have a poly to ride and test out. Grats on his new bike!
@GrahamDixonUK Жыл бұрын
I'd never heard of Polygon until I was searching for a Specialized and Marin last year. Thank goodness they were in short supply and I'd watched a few KZfaq videos which brought Polygon to my attention. I got the 2021 Xtrada 7 and I absolutely love it.

Hell yeah! I've got a 21' T7 as my first full squish and I love it. The only thing I'd change is a smaller crank gear. There's crazy hills out here in PNW land and i'd like a little more "bail out" in my bail out gear. Other than that, it's a great intermediate bike that I'll likely never outgrow, AND it looks rad. I went with yellow petals though. Gotta swap my yellow grips for blue ones to match.
