great "hybrid" ride
Was looking for a road bike that could jump off the pavement when necessary... this rig fit the bill and then some. Living in a hilly area - the gearing is fine for the roads, but my old legs want for a little lower gearing when I hop off the pavement. This thing delivers what it promises - a smooth and forgiving ride that can keep up with the pure roadies on group rides (albeit a little less efficient) and still get you back home on the suburban connector trails that are often gravel or packed rock. The fork takes the edge of uneven roads, but that's about it. The wide tires provide great grip and confidence in the corners - even though they are loud compared to standard, skinny road tires. Not really a single track monster with the stock tires - but not what it promises, either. Might try grippier tires if/when the stockers are done. Other than price, this rig delivers in every aspect.
