at Valley Bikes Favorite Ride:
They're all cool on a 'bent! Bike Setup:
USS with mostly stock components. Mueller Windwrap fairing. Continental Grand Prix tires. Speedplay Frog pedals. Summary:
This is a great bike for touring, commuting, racing, etc. It climbs well and is stable. The main and seat frames flex enough to provide a comfortable ride but not so much as to effect power transfer. Strengths:
Fast, comfortable ride. Nice components. Rapidfire shift/brake levers work well with under seat steering. Wheels are super-strong and mine are still true after two years of loaded riding. The rear wheel is not dished to provide more strength. Weaknesses:
Chain strikes chainstay and causes severe damage to finish (and eventually the tubing) if not protected with a chainstay protector. My seat frame is made crooked and the main frame seems to be off a little also. This doesn't seem to affect handling and a friend of mine who welds says it's hard to keep Chromoly tubing from distorting when welding. Some find handlebar hard to reach on USS model but I don't have that problem. Similar Products Used:
