at Dean Ultimate Bikes Favorite Ride:
Marin Headlands Bike Setup:
Dean El Diente with Dura Ace Triple and Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork. Time Mag pedals with Sidi Energy shoes. Velomax Circuit Comp wheels with Michelin Pro Race tires. Summary:
Love this bike. Great for heavier riders. I am 6'1" 195lbs with the larger downtube. Welds look great. Great price on a full Dura Ace set up with full titanium frame. Reynolds Ouzo Pro provides firm, accurate turns. Great acceleration and very smoooth to the road. Strengths:
Lightweight but stiff. They worked well with me to get sizing right. Accelerates well. Weaknesses:
Dean did not communicate well on shipping date, and they charged my card before shipping. They did not get it finished before going to Interbike, but they were trustworthy and got it too me. Similar Products Used:
Replaced a Trek 1400 from 1989.

at Dean Bike Setup:
Ultegra gruppo. Mavic Open Pro\Ultegra hubbed wheels (Wheelsmith), TTT bar & stem, Cane Creek headse Summary:
Fast & stable on descents. Nimble yet predictable on fast turns. The oversized downtube is great for bigger riders (I'm 6' 185 lbs). Adds stiffness but not too much because the bike is a dream on long rides. Combination of the frame and Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork absorbs most road funk. Great climbing machine even with my heavy butt as the engine. Strengths:
Build quality. Value. Local builder. Weaknesses:
None as of this writing. Similar Products Used:
LeMond Victoire (Tested)
