Bottom Line:
Great bike. Frame will withstand a lifetime of upgrades. Race-able out of the box. WTB components are fantastic. This was my first 29 ss and it may be my last as durable as the frame seems to be. I'll keep replacing parts and riding this thing as long as I can.

Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$1000.00
Strengths:
Weight, handling, climbing ability, solid geometry -a lot of fun riding this bike.
Weaknesses:
Pedals -can't quite put it into words, but there could be an updrade there.
Similar Products Used:
Been a Bianchi guy since early 90's in college when the Osprey was the choice.
Bike Setup:
No mods -just as the shop where I purchased it put it together.
Bottom Line:
No serious complaints. A comfortable bike that handles what I do wonderfully and is a blast to ride. I found myself in mid-range and never shifting my old Osprey -so I thought I would go single speed and it rocks!
