Expirience with the Conway RLC FS 6.9

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Conway Fully on long tours with lots of trails. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The seating position is sporty. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 4500 Euro that would suit you better. On the way to the summit, the Conway Fully lets it rip. With its 510 bandwidth on the gears and the overall athletic alignment, the on long tours with lots of trails competitors got some catching up to do. Conway gives 5 years warranty on the bike. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the RLC FS 6.9 sizing runs big.
