Strengths:    Great road feel. Beautiful smooth welds and an unbelieveable paint job. It rivels my klein for beauty of welds and paint depth. Even the guys at my bike shop fell in love with how it looks. It feels so good you don't want to get off it.

Weaknesses:    Only has a 1" headtube. If it had a 1 1/8 " headtube I could have made it into a 29er with a suspension fork. Not really a true weakness due to the fact that I put on a carbon fibre fork to soak up some of the trail roughness.

Bottom Line:   
Best darn frameset available for cross and everything else out there!! I purchased the frameset through my insurance deductable. My trek X01 was stolen. I hate to say it but thanks to the low lifes who stole it. This frame is unbelieveable. I have mine built up with a flat bar setup with bar ends for extra reach for really motoring. I have ridden all kinds of top framesets (trek 5200, giant atx le, fuel 100, klein attitude race etc.) and this one is right up there for handling and feel. I mean it fits like a glove. If you buy one you will not be disappointed. I know it doesn't have the high profile name appeal over here that most bike geeks love, but who cares when you can smoke any one of them with the Ridley on or off the trails.
