General opinion back when I bought mine seemed to be...
1) Urgh - it has a sloping top-tube! (this attitude seems to be lessening somewhat)
2) It's an overpriced hybrid (dirty word back then - still is I guess)
3) It's a jack of all trades and master of none
4) It's trying to be something it's not
Oddly enough it seemed to manage to offend both ends of the spectrum - fixie skiddaz thought it uncool, regular cyclists wanted something more specific...
