Strengths:    Fun to ride. Great blend of quickness and versatility. Superbly made frame.

Weaknesses:    not for weight weenies, racing or technical trail riding.

Bottom Line:   
If I could only have one bike, this would be the one. It is as versatile with tires and racks as you read on the Riv website. What I like most about it is the handling - steady but still quick. Great bike for brevets, light trails, misc. riding. Fine lug-work draws compliments often.
