Favorite Trail:
Berkeley Hills
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$800.00
Strengths:
Frame swap with bike shop. Very light frame, with most of the features I like, oversize Scandium, chainstay bridge, Breezer dropouts. Nice paint job. A real sub 3lbs. Stiff climber, yet comfortable descender, rides and handles well.
Weaknesses:
Down tube, BB cable routing. Guess the design follows 'euro roadie' feedback. Some maintenance issues here. Also no disc mount option.
Similar Products Used:
Klein Attitude, Full Dynamix.
Bike Setup:
XTR, White Brothers XC4, Tune/Mavic 618.
Bottom Line:
Lightweight! Good handling, tracking, etc. Only letdown is the cable routing, and not so important (to some) lack of disc brake option.
