I have one. It's a beautiful and unique bike. The frame looks great because of the titanium and the
angle changes at the headset and the stays. As far as the ride goes, I haven't felt a bump on it in
nearly 1,000 miles. Unfortunately, that's because there's snow outside and I've done all of my miles
on my Computrainer. I haven't noticed any flex at all on the boom under full power, and the frame
still has noticeable vertical flex at the stays which should give a good smooth ride.
I have Ultegra double cranks, bottom bracket and front derailleur, a Shimano XT long cage rear
derailleur, a Bacchetta front brake, a TerraCycle GlideFlex stem and a Reynolds Ouzo Comp 2 Aero
Fork. The Challenge seat fits me like a glove, and the Astroturf cover is very comfortable. Much
more than I expected. It also makes a great back scratcher if you slide up and down.
