Strengths: Steel,reynold top self tube set,ebb,iso disc mounts,good paint job,hand made in usa boulder Co., Single speed.
Weaknesses: cheap carpy decal they should go way retro and put brazed logo on the head tube and nothing else or have option for no decals for the priceBottom Line: I rode this bike every day to work and trails and had no problems with the workmanship of the frame the ebb is a bit odd but i'm not fimilar with it,the paint dulls quickly but in the end it stays on,the ride is hard to describe to you if you have not ridden steel.Handels like a dream and with big fat tires it can handel most trails,i also ride a moutaincycle san andreas dhs bike so i know what fs,ht,fr,dh frames and setups can take.This is a superior frame to the big box bike but it comes with a cost also it took a long time for it to arrive but that just the ways it goes with Ionic/dean cycles

Strengths: Great Ride, nice welds.Weaknesses: heat treatmentBottom Line: Great ride. Really slams into the turns in tight single track. Could have used the Salsa dropouts with the fixed bolt to stop the hub from slipping forward. BMX Rear hub holders do not fit into these dropouts. Broke the frame on the drive side chain stay at the drop out. Boxing it up today to send it in.

Strengths: Beautiful Frame. Tig welded for strengh. Steel is real a lot less harsh that aluminum, very responsive, likes the jumps at local track. Nice long and thick dropouts. Strong frame no flex. Ugly stickers peel off easily.Weaknesses: Will eventually rust, but thats not really a weakness, only thing i can come up with though.Bottom Line: Single Speeding is a way of life. If you like this way of like then this is defeinently a bike worth checking out. Its a bit pricy, but its handcrafted and will last you a life time. Simpicity is bliss.
