Strengths: Handles like a road bike, rides better than my randonneur bike, faster over gravel than anthing else.Weaknesses: High bottom bracket. I ride 60-61cm road, ordered 58. 56 would have been better.Bottom Line: Built this frame and fork up with 9s Shimano bar-ends, American Classic-hubbed DT Swiss wheels, Avid Shoth Ultimates, Ritchey WCS fork with 48mm offset. This bike is more than promised! Fast, extremely smooth and forgiving, quick handling. Have ridden it on a mixed pavement and gravel loop MINUTES faster than either my road bike or a Specialized 2011 Roubaix Expert. There has been nothing disappointing. Should be a great fendered/bad weather bike (with use of P-clips on fender stays). Used with cross tires and with Conti 25mms, with very positive results. Looking forward to riding it with Challenge Parigi-Roubaix 27s (29 on my rims).
