My first "new" bike, I bought online off ebay for 0 shipped. Got it for those horizontal rear-facing dropouts. Moved the wheelset from the Giant over to this bike, got a DA 15t cog, love the ride. Stem is a bit long, I'm looking for something shorter. Or I could put some drops on this bike for regular commuting (thinking about it..). This is definitely my do-it-all bike. Knobbies go on and flip to freewheel when I take to the trails. Best thing is, frame is nothing special, so I don't feel bad about riding it everywhere for everything. Still though, not the same love as for my Univega. That ride is beautiful. It's like having that one girlfriend who's great at cookin', and the other girlfriend who's just great lookin'.
