I've ridden plenty of aluminum frames but I've always preferred steel. I was riding a Schwinn Supersport before the Interloc purchase so it gave me a chance to see the HUGE difference in ride quality between the two. My rides consist of pavement mixed with long stretches of gravel road. The steel frame seems to absorb the krappy pavement in my neck of the woods and when it comes to the gravel no comparison! I bought a 58cm frame and it has a long top tube but it seemed to work out ok. It has a sloping top tube which I also prefer. The stock fork is heavy and lucky for me I had a Kona fork that was about a pound lighter. The frame has cool breezer dropouts and plenty of room for 38c tires. Strengths:
Steely ride...ohhhhhh so smooth! Handles great on pavement and dirt. Great do all bike. Weaknesses:
Hey it's steel so it ain't no lightweight, and the stock fork which could double as an anchor. Similar Products Used:
