at GVH Bikes Favorite Ride: Anywhere in the mountains Bike Setup: White industries ENO cranks & trials freewheel, 36/18, White MI6 front disk hub, Sun Rhyno-Lite rims, Conti Mountain King tires, Crank Bros. Acid pedals, Ritchey Pro Rizer bars, Ritchey Pro stem & Seatpost, Selle San Marco saddle, Avid BB-7 disk brakes. Summary: This is a great handling, durable steel SS hardtail. Stable geometry, stiff enough but still comfortable to ride, descends well, climbs well, takes abuse and feels strong and reliable. I love it!
Has tabs so you could build it up as a 26"-wheeled tank of a city/commuter bike too.
But if you've never tried MTB SSing... Do it. Now! Strengths: Good value/Bang for buck.
Looks good, not gaudy.
Strong. Reliable.
Disk tabs.
Tabs for options. Weaknesses: Nothing glaring. More color options, and a version with no canti posts at all would be nice. Similar Products Used: Surly 1x1.
