Strengths: Stiff, responsive and fast.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: The frame is increadible stiff and responsive. Fast on flats and gives the stiffness needed to climb. I was so impressed I bought a Griffen Kompressor frame and build a new road bike.

Strengths: stiffness and strength (most people don't understand that this is a totally different material than anything out there, it's not aluminum (aka tin cans)). Comfort (I've done many centuries and ironmen and never feel beat up, except on the run, but that's not the bikes fault).Weaknesses: Price, but they are still handmade in the US (Dallas, TX area now I believe), and the material is much more complex and I'm sure difficult to work with than others.Bottom Line: I've owned just about every brand and every material and the material used to build Griffens is superior to all of them. It is as stiff and strong as anything, but dampens the road just right, without feeling like carbon (dead). I still like the feel of a good steel frame, but for weight and stiffness this is it. I own 3 griffens now. 2 vulcans and a kompressor.
Favorite Ride: 360/Capital of Texas Highway
Price Paid:
