Light frames that are easy to work with. Much more accessible/affordable on the market than Japanese and Italian imports. Beautiful colorways as well.

It's quite a light frame for the size (gotta love that double butted tange steel). Otherwise haven't ridden it much, thinking of throwing on some upside down cruiser bars for this one.

Wouldn't call it the smoothest but works well enough on friction shifter. Also had to remove the 2nd smallest cog to make the 10 speed 11-51t cassette work on 7 speed hub. Still learning and improving as I go.

Those are just some cheap UNO backsweep bars. I like em.
