Sunday Bikes just released a preview of their 2018 lineup…and with eager anticipation I scrolled through the slideshow to have a look at the latest iteration of the 24″ Model C.
New for this year is all black colorway (with the exception of the bars and cranks which are chrome).
It’s almost the ying to the yang (or is vice versa?) of last year’s colorway: chrome with black bars and cranks).
Other than the new colorway, the Model C is pretty much steady as she goes in terms of components and setup.
The highlights are:
- Sunday Lightning rims
- Sunday sealed hubs
- Odyssey Springfield brakes
- Odyssey Twisted PC pedals
- Sunday Tripod Seat
- Sunday Freeze stem
- Sunday Pursuit tires
Like last year, the frame is not full chromoly (chromoly downtube and headtube only)…but still reasonably durable and well-spec’d for the pricepoint.
For the rest of the deets, click on over to the Sunday site.
For around the same price you can get a Colony Eclipse or a WTP Atlas that are full chromoly. I mean the Model C has fake copies of the bars that were actually designed for it. It’s kind of a joke how much they cheap out on this thing at this price.
Don’t forget about the Stolen Saint 499.99 all sealed full chromoly with 48 spline cranks with awesome new geometry. The model C is no better than a Walmart DK at this point.
