Greenway bike path along Hudson

Bike Setup:
My bike has the Conti's instead of transword titesand I added lights and a wirelss speedometer It's a large frame that is actally middle size because they also have a Jumbo size

Summary:
I was able to get this bike at a discount in September 2005 when the 2006's were coming out at for a $150 discount from the $850 retail price. This bike came in very handy duting the NYC transit strike and did well in the freezing temperatures and poor riding conditions The newer models seem almost the same except I have Continental 2000 reflective tires.

Strengths:
Its a very steady bike and does well for commuting and has all the accessories you need for touring including two bottle mounts and even a bell

Weaknesses:
The chain can come off in the inner front chainring and is not easy to put back due to the chainguard.

Similar Products Used:
I have had a number of similar bikes and prefer it over the Globe and I prefer the Trek Portland but it's twice the price.
