from Boynton Beach, FL, USADate Reviewed: June 20, 2001
Strengths: Light weight, road bike tires, and short wheelbase make the bike very responsive to the rider. Accelerates very quickly, turns like a racing wedgie. Good Shimano componetry and hubs. Underseat steering gives a fighter jet feeling to the rider and makes mounts and dismounts easy. Long chain has a low friction idler. Short wheelbase (42") makes it fit standard forkmount bikerack trays. Smaller front wheel keeps feet low and seated position more comfortable than other bikes tested.Weaknesses: Small front wheel size (349) is less common.
Not a biggie, but size adjustment involves chain for more than 3/4" adjustment so "can I try your bike?" only works for people with similar measurements.
Bottom Line: This is a fun machine. My wife says it looks like I am not working as hard as she is. The bike feels responsive and quick. A real pleasure to ride.
Favorite Ride: Wainright Park (Miami) to Key Biscayne, FL
Price Paid:
$1655.00
Similar Products Used: Vision, Rans, Lightning, BikeE, Trek
Bike Setup: The bike looks more complex than it is.
The Under Seat Steering adds a couple of parts not usually seen on bikes, but everything is well made and easy to assemble and maintain.
Front Shock Forks are becoming popular and is available as an option.
