Strengths: Stiff, responsive frame. Great paint.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: This is an amazing bike. It climbs better than anything I have ever ridden. I never liked aluminum until I tried this frame, it rides like a dream. With the manitou fork that has been wonderful and light, the bike comes to around 22 lbs. and I don't even have the lightest components! If I went to Cook cranks and got a Ti bar and seatpost and maybe a new cassette I would probably by inside of 21lbs!
My Litespeed creaked to no end and my Trek OCLV felt like it was going to crack, this DEAN is lighter and more reliable than both. My praises to the boys out in Colorado for their magic with easton elite tubing. This is a true racing bike.

Strengths:
powder coat paint job... after a year, it's still perfect. Great XC hardtail, climbs everything with ease.Weaknesses:
They're too sweet looking. I feel bad if I can't keep it clean.
wait up guys, I gotta wipe my bike down.Bottom Line: What a sweet frame! What can I say?, they really know what they're doing over there in CO. Dean puts out one heck of a hardtail. XC control is unreal. This bike kicks.
