Strengths: This frame is durable, comfortable, and provides plenty of resposive performance for recreational Singletrack as well as sport class XC racing. Frame I purchased was built as a custom ti frame to my body measurements and cockpit of resulting bike is incredible.Weaknesses: None for type of bikeBottom Line: I never knew that having a custom bike could make such a difference in comfort and performance. I think the service from BRC in terms of suggesting the compnay and working on the final build was right on the money in terms of what I want for recreational and racing Singletrack. The speedy production and workmanship from Seven Cycles is wonderful as well as their communication.

Bike Setup: Pedals-- Shimano Deore XT MTB SPD Pedals and Sidi Mt Bike shoes - excellent for racing and aggresive singletrack. Had Candy 2s but switched to these and glad about it.
Crank: E13 singlespeed crank 180 (I am 6' 2 1/2" and these work very well for my build) This is also so I can easily switch it to a Surely SS cog setup for any racing I want to do.
Fork: Fox Shox 32 Float 29 100 -- nice-- plenty of shock for SS trails nice rebound adjustment for different terrain complements ti feel.
Hubs: Industry Nine (great but noisy [ like a rattlesnake]-- your friends and fellow racers will know you are there and not pushing pedals with the 'zzzzzz' sounds)

Ritchey bar
Locking white Odi grips
Seat WTB Rocket V SLT silver (very nice)
