Strengths: Perfect Ti bike that performs better than a Litespeed Classic or Merlin Road for far less money. Sprint, climb, long miles, carve mean switchbacks... it rocks.Weaknesses: 1 1/8" head tubes are a special order upgrade for this model, but worth it if you like the extra stiffness-- you won't notice it on frames smaller than 53 c-c anyhow.Bottom Line: I have two Furiosas, one with custom geometry and one with stock angles. The Furiosa is the do-everything bike that you need to own to appreciate. It has super stiff chainstays and gently shaped downtube and seat tube profiles to give you excellent power transmission without needing to be oversized or overworked. Harry's titanium stock is second to none and the welds by his main man Dennis are flawless. Furiosas ride like a Ti bike should: comfortable like steel, light as aluminum, with the power transmission of my recently sold 2001 Trek 5500. Stock geometry handles flawlessly, my custom is for the big climbs in Europe...
