I have just under four years and about 7,000 miles on my Haluzak
Hybrid Race. It has been the best built bike I've ever owned.
I commute in Silicon Valley on pot holed city streets and bike
paths and the only problem I've experienced was self-induced.
I had the bike on top of my car and drove into an underground
garage. The bike seat hit the overhead and ripped the bike out
of the roof rack. Broke the Yakima roof rack tray, broke the
Subaru factory roof rack, bent the front fork. Didn't even
crack the seat support welds! It took more than a month to
get a replacement fork, because it had to wait for a batch
of frames to be ready for power coating.
Greg, who runs the place is knowledgable, has great integrity,
and will fix anything that you manage to break. Yes, it might
take a while. Yes, it's a one-man shop, but what difference
does that really make. They aren't particularly net savvy, so
don't expect an answer to an email. If you've got an issue,
call them.
I'd buy another Haluzak tomorrow.
My $0.02 worth.
