I've been toying with the idea of pursuing a krampus for a while, and now I have the money to do so...but it needs to fill the niche of "east coast kickaround bike" in that I'd pretty much strap my shoes on, hop out the door, and go for quick 6-12mi rides on it. Initially I was thinking about the Spec Crave SL for the duty, but a test ride left me completely unimpressed, sadly. LBS had a krampus, but I didn't have time to test it.
Anyways, all I keep reading is how great it is, how much fun, etc...but few people point out any negatives...they all seem completely enamored with it. Have any of you purchased or test rode one, then decided you didn't like it? Surely there must be a certain type of terrain or trail that the bike just sucked at, right?
