It's not a bike for a weight weenie (especially with the steel fork), I'd say 'solid, dependable' are both excellent words to describe it. There's a large F&F on Pinkbike and STW at the moment.
I had great fun on mine, but it's no road race bike. Gravel, singletrack and light trails were the happy ground for me personally, though I did do a (slow) road century on it too.
Loved mine - obviously.
