Owner's Words:

This bike is a wonderful daily beater and it's fairly quick on the flats. Hills and climbs on the other hand, this thing is a tank compared to the new road bikes. This bike was built under a small budget and it's pretty nice for how much I've spent! Big props to my dad for helping me with the build. My road bike should be featured on ST soon enough.
