"This is my single speed steed. It's very straightforward transportation for me to and from work. Not gears to fiddle with...doesn't look too exotic so shouldn't attract thieves.
Well equipped throughout for the price:
Alex Wheelset
Sugino Crank
Carbon Fork
Reynolds Frame
Carbon Seatpost
(added) Charge Spoon Saddle
Conti Ultra Race tires were stock!"mistahsinclair
Quality of Construction
Steel frame, carbon fork, nicely equipped throughout.
Fit
I got the right size...56cm frame, I'm 6' tall with a 33" inseam!
Comfort
Having spent years riding aluminum bikes I got this steel framed one...very noticeable difference. I would call it compliant because it's not noticeably flexible!
Durability
Bomb proof so far.
Value
Got it very cheap as it was last years model.
Appearance
It looks cool to me!
Strengths
Simple, comfortable, well put together.
Weakness
The rear hub is not well designed. Flip-flopping the rear wheel to go fixed gives a misalignment of about 4mm from chainring to cog...at some point I'll buy a new wheelset...when I'm man enough to ride it fixed!

Ease of installation
It's a bike...I installed myself on it...much like any other bike!
