Review
This review is actually only for a week or so of riding this bike, but after only a week, my pedal ups have improved, and also my rear wheel stability, and confidence level have sky rocketed. I have a small complaint, but it's not too big a deal, i feel like there should be more cable guides, or stops near the headtube. As it is right now, I have to put a big ziptie around the top/down tube junction to stop the brake lines, and rear derraileur housing from getting caught under the headset cup on the bottom. Not a big deal, but just worth a mention I think. I recommend this frame to anyone looking for a nice no frills trials frame. This is the best frame I've ever ridden.
