 Cred: 210 | | Decent groupo but you are paying for the frame you will use for 30 years. Good wheels for the price IMO, great geometry and still handles well at high speed. Good universal parts so it's not expensive or proprietary. |
| swapped out the front canti brake for a disc, which required a new fork and front wheel. That's not too bad, but to put a fork on the back would require braising/welding. Went with a larger front ring too. |
| That one Trek CroMo bike, Jamis's steel bikes and maybe Kona. |
