I know right? I like the look and geo of the frame and fork. What's I find interesting is that the front triangle, seat stays, and chain stays are aluminum and the seat tube and fork are steel. What's more, being a 27" frame/fork, I have clearance for up to a 35c tire if I decide to try my hand at tracklocross or decide to turn this thing into a SS gravel bike(more dirt roads than paved around here).
