I loved this old beast, but once I got the eBike, I simply didn't use it.
Broke my heart to sell it.
It rode like a dream downhill and it was always a chore to push up a hill, but it was built like a tank.
Here's a few of mine, still got them and holding out hope for more use than they have had in the past few years. Planning a couple of trips where I'll be flying with a bike bag so the Deviate will be back in favour, actually just ordered a set of PNW 50mm risers for it. Also still own a XC bike, CX bike, fatbike and a singlespeed.
