Strengths: Comfortable ride, light weight, very classic appearance.Weaknesses: Comfortable ride to the extent of being a bit flexy on climbs.Bottom Line: If this frame ever rusts or breaks, I will cry a lot. I have ridden many friends' bikes from Kleins to Cannondales and find my frame to have many "feel" qualities of ti bikes. I am just now getting back into riding after a 4 year hiatus and can appreciate the classic ride and geometry of my frame now that all the NEW bikes are out. Aside from being too flashy (mine is gunmetal matte finish grey), many of the aluminum/composite frames I've ridden accelerate really quickly, but tend to be far too rigid offroad for me. I will end up being the old man on the old frame with dope components if I have my way. Trek Singletrack ZX frames are the way to go in my book. I got mine in about 97, so if you find one of these, snatch it up.
