Moots after 20K all- season miles? Engineered, solid, swift, comfortable, masculine, unflappable, subtle, distinctive. The sales experience was intelligent, assured, unexaggerated - "You'll probably find over time you enjoy this bike more than others (i.e., IF, Seven, Omega, Spectrum)." I came from a Serotta-built ti Schwinn Paramount (great frame, a bit too small; prior? DeRosa, Batavus, Frejus) and know I have a better-built, truer tracking, more balanced rig and am fully cured of bike lust and distraction: this is such a quietly elegant, utterly capable, wash and wear landjet for a Clyde.MAHJINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268412808971572783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508284748757583481.post-14748583656533990352008-10-23T22:44:00.000-05:002008-10-23T22:44:00.000-05:00From what I've been told by my bike mechanic, they...From what I've been told by my bike mechanic, they make excellent mountain bikes as well. They are very cool. They even have a place for folks to stay when they come to be fitted. Also the guy who makes DeSalvo bikes speaks very highly of their work as well. So when another customer builder speaks highly of their competition, I think it is good to take note.acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700457140778271786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508284748757583481.post-78698355374658558662008-10-23T22:08:00.000-05:002008-10-23T22:08:00.000-05:00Great review.

I've ridden their compact frames for years! Love it! There's no other material like Ti. The Moots are to drool over.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.com
