from Colorado Springs, CO USA Date Reviewed: December 3, 2006 Strengths: Where to start? First off for $499 the frame is an excellent value. 4lbs for a large frame is quite a deal considering I can run v-brakes still if I want (which I currently am). Welds are similar to those of frames that cost 2x as much and the paint job is quality too. Ride quality is definetly up there. It's just a nimble riding frame that is great for riding singletrack. I love it. Just jumps when you get on the pedals yet the ride is not as harsh as you would expect from aluminum. Weaknesses: None really. Sure be nice if it was a wee lighter or wee cheaper but currently for the money/weight it's a steal.
