The bike needs a little work on control cable routing. The front derailleur post is only about ½” behind the head tube, which satisfied Mark's long-standing curiosity about how close you could make them. Chris seems to like it a lot so far, and it sounds like he is finding that cushy LWB ride pretty seductive!

Mark's comment; Chris mentioning the bike having a cushy ride came as a surprise to me. The first thing I had noticed was that the ride seemed very harsh. Everything is relative. Chris' experience is on SWBs and skinny tired road bikes. Mine is on steel LWBs with medium sized tires.
