at City Cycle SF Model Year: 2007 Favorite Ride: SF Flow Bike Setup: King SS hubs, Stans tubeless rims/Raven tires, Durace crank with 39t ring, Surly 17 cog, SRAM Rival brake levers, SLR saddle, Ritchey Biomax bar, Ritchey comp stem and post, Crank Bros smarty pedals Summary: Strong and stiff frame! It came with a good group, but single-ated it and haven't looked back. The stout rear triangle never drops my chain or twists, even on the steeps or pulling out of sharp turn. The frame handles 38s and the fork handles 44s, so running it like a 29er is a ton of fun. Corners fast for a cross bike, tight geometry overall. Strengths: Light, super stiff, snazzy paint. Climbs like a goat. Mine has handled beatings and come back for more. Raced to success. Weaknesses: Top tube material dented slightly. But the wide flat area is SO nice for dismounts, it is worth the susceptible shape. Similar Products Used: Cross Check (heavy), Tricross (not-bad, really similar extrawide forks)
