I thought I'd avoided the hate when I got the plug over a langster but hey ho. Mine does very nicely for light SSCX / towpath blasting type use. Yes it's more relaxed at 71/73, but those are the same angles I used to rock back in my MTB days so it feels right at home. Stock tyres are shit but the rest of it is sold enough. It's heavy, but then you HTFU. My upgrades: OpenPro to SystemX rear wheel SPD's Specialised Carbon post (off my old bike) Risers and a 3T stem (injury forced me off the bullhorns) Lightweight inertubes Various tyres, currently 32mm Delta Cruiser front / 25mm Marathon rear Token carbon BB Andel cog & Lockring Rolls saddle Of all the changes the rear wheel was the best, the tyres the most accessible and the bars the greatest change to my riding style. All of them could move to a new frame tomorrow so hardly dead investments.
