In Summary

Review by Patria L

I've done everything I can to bang up this bike (it's been through luggage at many airports and survived TSA, it's hit the pavement hard, it's bounced around on the rocks off-road) and the derailleurs are still shifting perfectly every time I tap a lever.  This bike has done everything a single bike can possibly do, I believe: it has traveled half-way around the world, it has gone on multiple day off-road journeys, it has gone swimming (unavoidable river crossings and got caught in plenty of downpours), has been loaded up with 45-pounds of gear for a few camping trips, and has completed a road century in less than 6 hours--all since the first of April this year. The rides this bike has been on are perfect product testing grounds for everything that the bike is equipped with.

All I can do is think about getting it out for its next adventure.
