The brakes are wonderful and allow MUCH more control in every situation than rubber rim brakes ever could. This is the entire reason I settled on this bike. Both derailers shift up/down 2 gears occasionally, but it’s not a BIG problem. The handlebar has just about as many devices now as the Mars Curiosity Rover (my fault…), and the “All Terra” saddle sucks. If I placed it just right for my anatomy, I would slide forward. If I tilted it to the rear so I wouldn’t slide forward, my man-pieces would get crushed into oblivion. I rode a good 500 miles before I replaced it with a cheapo one from a dept. store(still better) until I can get the Brooks B17 special I’ve wanted forever.

Also, if you ride in a burr infested area, get thorn resistant tubes. With standard tubes, I would have 5 punctures it seems every ride around the park. With TR tubes, I’ve had one puncture in 2 months, and I patched it, not one since. Well worth the rolling resistance and weight increase (get a better workout too).

Good review sir, liking the pictures.
