>>1003894This is a bike for city hipster that want to get into mountainbiking but then figure out their motoric skills are junk or are too pussy for real balls to the wall mountainbiking.
They buy these monstercross bikes and pretend to be rough and rowdy.
And their peers actually believe them.
Modern cyclocross fads are somewhere along these lines too, but not necessarily as true as these touring/monstercross shits.
