2007 Moots Compact.

Because of my bad back, I had the fitter and my Dr discuss what geometry would allow me to finally ride a road bike longer than 10 minutes without pain. Took 12 weeks to build the frame and another two to have it built up and sent to me but it was all worth it.

I love the solid yet compliant way it feels - the bike is one with me. It moves with my body I usually ride it on MUP or around town, so it's more of a luxury casual fun ride for me. The unpainted frame marks up easily from the oils of my skin but I know it will never rust. It sure holds heat, though. I've burned my thighs on it before.

Beautiful welds, and excellent craftsmanship equals pride of ownership.
