The ride quality, it's one of the latest of GP's designs... he knows how to design a bike that can't be anything but a great ride. Same builders at a lot of their other frames; some of the best out there; a few may come close, but it's hard. Color is personal taste. Funny thing: even the bikes that are colors that I'd not pick, still look great. Even if it's not what you'd pick, you may still like it. These are bikes that can let you sit more upright, more comfortably, so you can do those all-day rides. Good luck w/ the choice.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
