The balance between the suppleness of chromoly and the precise rigidity of thru-axles is exquisite. Starting off, it's not too heavy, but not too light either. It's easy to handle with stop-and-go in the city, and provides a high sense of security when going over bumps.
This bike is too good to be simply relegated to "commuter" status; it has an atmosphere that makes you want to take a detour on your days off. The thick 29x2.0 tires are also a welcome feature, allowing you to ride without worrying about rough sections of road.
We highly recommend this model to those looking for a durable steel bike, and those who appreciate a classic look but desire modern specifications under the hood.
