Troy, I don't believe we've met but we live in the same area. I'm very involved and have been in our local MTB scene and PORC for many years... Jeez, I've been riding our local trails since 1997 actually. Anyhow, I rented one of these bikes while up in Maine and used it to ride the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. Like you, I fell in love with the bike from that first ride and have had my eyes on getting one ever since. I just purchased this exact one which I plan to swap out to a barely used Apex 1 groupset that I have another bike. I found your video very helpful and informative, it was a great way to see the bike before making the purchase! Great vid and keep up the good work!

@@JohnChristopher-k7u Yeah, I broke one on a different model bike. Bummer. There are a few different mounting brackets, so it depends which one is more breakable.

@@TroyandAndrea “Different mounting brackets”? That’s news to me. In the time I’ve had my 2019 Giant Fathom E+ 3 29er, I’ve destroyed 4 brackets, two of them out of warranty. I’ve now ended up doing a gorilla fix, using a spare bit of inner tube and a couple of zip ties to secure my controller to my handlebar. It’s far from ideal but it’s better than returning my bike to the shop every three months and spending another £100 on something that shouldn’t have snapped in the first place.

It's a perfect bike all around in my opinion and I put well over 3,000 mi on it at this point and still love it. I was looking at everything including the Trek Verve and this blew it away for way less money.
