 Poland is home to Antidote bikes too, some of the best and most overlooked bikes out there. The Lifelines are amazing. It's also home to my family. Hooray for Poland!

 Thelander's canyon is the nicest there. super clean.

 Its not a canyon, its a beddo. As far as I know canyon don't make or haven't yet made a dirt frame so genon & thelander are running blacked out frames from their previous sponsors.

 You've just proved yourself wrong henry. Your picture shows the same headtube with holes and everything as in the pic in the article above. Look at it larger www.pinkbike.com/photo/9575705/?s6

 those holes are gyro tabs.... hahaha yeah, the cups are totally different
  • 1 0
 Fair enough on the gyro tabs. I've never paid any attention to that sort of thing. I'm still struggling to see this headtube difference you're on about though. Looks pretty similar to me and the rear dropouts are also pretty unique and match the Beddo.
