The only weakness this frame has can only be in the rider. A sagacious selection of fine components. It was really no contest whom would be my choice. This frame is deeply rooted in the glorious Nor-Cal traditions. . . There are no cables or brake bosses on the upper tubes, fully housed cables run along the down-tube in eyelets.
Most people glancing at the bike think it's a single-speed.
The bike is very predictable and fits perfectly with that nice balance between stiffness and shock absorption seen in the best steel frames. The perfect welds and powder-coating make it the most gorgeous steel frame I have seen. Its no racer due to the weight of the hub, disc brakes,and coil fork, but it is the perfect trailbike for maximal fun and minimal maintanence. Sean and Matt are great to work with and have a passion for what they do which is reflected in their frames. Simply the simplist,straightforward, point and shoot frame I've ridden.
