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.Bottom Line: 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.
Favorite Ride: Marin Headlands
Price Paid:
$2615.00

Strengths: Build quality. Value. Local builder.Weaknesses: None as of this writing.Bottom Line: 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.
