Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Campy Chorus 9-spd, Balance Hoops, Tektro mini-V brakes.

Summary:
The purchase of the Dean was based on excellent customer service and a fair price. I was looking for a well built steel bike that could handle my +200lbs on the road and off. I was also particular about top tube length and standover height, both of which Dean was very accomodating with.

Strengths:
Very stiff yet smooth in the rough stuff. Nimble handling without being twitchy. Welding is top-notch.

Weaknesses:
Poor decals and extra spacer required on BB. Did not ship in a timely fashion.

Summary:
I have had two Dean Cross frames. Awesome frame and great company service. Would buy a similar road frame if wife would let me. Have found that a single ring application with spot brand guards on the front works best for cross races in my area.

Strengths:
Very stiff, very little flex in the frame with tube shape. Steel!, color choices. Steel! oh did i say steel!

Weaknesses:
me
