Summary:
Okay first things first, I bought the SL instead of the regular Compact simply because Moots said they had one made and could ship it in 2-3 days. If they had a regular Compact ready to ship I would have bought that one instead. That being said, I'm glad I spent the extra money and bought the SL. The dropouts are pretty and the welds are the nicest I've ever seen. I've got two other titanium bikes and I won't ride anything else.

I could go on about the ride quality, how stiff it is, how compliant it is and how awesome it climbs, sprints and eates up the miles and so on but A LOT of that depends on what equipment you have on the bike. Just go ride one, you'll never be dissapointed.

Strengths:
It's mine and you can't have it. Not everyone has one.

Weaknesses:
I can't afford another one for a while.
