Price Paid:  $0.00 at Harborside Cycle, Gl

Favorite Ride:
Cape Ann Loop

Bike Setup:
IRD Frame/fork, FSA crank, Mavic Pro wheels, Ultegra, Ritchey, and the best seatpost around: Thomson.

Summary:
This compact style frame is very sharp and responsive. It's the perfect long lasting steel frame that feels and responds like aluminum. Mine is a 2002, 631 steel frame/fork, and setup as a road bike. Beautiful workmanship, although that Race Green color is something else! Excellent ride for a spinner (48-38). Good for those with short legs and long torso. The straight fork compliments the frame.

Strengths:
Compact Style.
Quick response.
Small company.

Weaknesses:
In racing cyclocross, it would be a tight squeeze to through it over my shoulder.
