Strengths: Overall look...impressive; compliments from other bikers.
Overall ride...better than average; fast, comfortable.
Overall feel...good; responds quickly, fits to the rider.Weaknesses: (minor]: Width of frame is smaller than standard trunk rack width requiring a bar adapter.Bottom Line: Serious bikers, forget the high price tag, this is the bike that'll make you more addicted to biking than you already are. Even non-biking people take one look at the bike and know that bicycling is more than just a hobby, it's a way of life. Oh, and the ride feels as great as it looks ... designed for people who like long rides on old trails or paved roads; a true hybrid that lets your ride where you want to go.
At 5'7" with a 31.5" (800mm) inseam, the 20" is a good size. The 17.5" frame is sold out anyway and may have been too small. The clipless pedals provide the opportunity to get a SPD compatible shoe; ordered the Shimano SH-R212 Road Shoe. Shifting gears is quick and feels natural. Brakes ... like typical bike brakes. Nothing to rave about, but on the bike so I use them.
The rear lights on the seat are very cool, with two different lighting options (always on and side-side) making night riding an option and not an obstacle. Handy mounts available to install two (silver) cages for water bottles; great for those long rides.
Need to buy some locks and cable ... this bike will tempt even a saint the desire to steal it.
