Date Reviewed: August 6, 2005

Strengths:    Light,stiff and strong frame. 27.2mm post size.Lots of top tube space.

Weaknesses:    None.

Bottom Line:   
Once a retired police bike.Built very tough.Swapped most of my parts from the M3,which was a great bike but badly built.
Light climber and very stiff,No frame flex noted.Comfortable for an aluminum frame. I spend most of my riding with this bike. Other riders seem to be intimidated with this bike.They must have something to hide.Relax guys.It's just a bike...with a 'Police' logo on it.
