I like the feel of this bike very much. It sidehops better than the first generations of Brisa mod's. It is a bit stiffer and lighter at that...

Review
I have noticed that the B20 is more stable to ride than for example Montys (Bit longer than montys). Great to balance on the rear, and I can pedal-up higher with this frame.
It is bit heavy but I think that means more aluminium on critical places so it shouldn´t snap. (I snapped my 00 Monty X-Lite).
Frontwheel moves are easier to do with B20 than with other Mods that I have tried.

I love my B20 and it helps me to ride more like "UCI" style.

There are stories that these broke easily on chainstays, so it is a slight con.

Review
Really stiff frame (almost no need for a brake booster). I had some trouble centering the wheel once the hub dug into the drop out.

The frame retired when it cracked on underside of the downtube, about 1" from the head tube.

Review
When the bike runs it runs like a dream. I had a 2001 B20 and i bent the drive side chainstay. so i got the supposedly strengthened 2003 b20 after waiting over 5 months for it to arrive and then after 6 months riding BANG. There goes my 2nd brisa frame. Out of all the bikes ive had, they are the only 2 that i have written off
