What attracted you to the Sonder?
If I look back over the 35 years I’ve been riding mountain bikes, from my first fully rigid Diamond Back through a run of XC-focused models from Canadian brands such as Kona, Cove, Rocky Mountain and DeKerf, there’s always been plenty of steel tubing in the mix. These were mostly in the 26in wheel era, and had geometry and sizing that would be frowned upon today.
