Out of curiosity, what is the price of this vs the price of a Superfly SS.

The Superfly SS seems to have a pretty damn good following/rep behind it.

The Superfly was a built to race. This bike doesn't seem to be that type of bike, although there will be those that race it.

You can almost always use the word "use" in place of "utilize". People tend to say "utilize" when they're trying to sound more important.

That's so cool that they are offering anodized parts that you can customize with your order. It's almost like the Ibis Mojo, that's been doing it for several years (only Ells has that sweet green color). :flame:

And, wow, that you can match parts is great. A big improvement over my experience a few years ago when my Truth black rear chainstay cracked due to a design flaw, and they could only replace it with a silver one. That was a nice look for a $2000 frameset! :flame:

And you can almost always utilize the word "utilize" in place of "use". People tend to say "use" when they're not pitching very expensive mountain bikes.

Hmmm. That would explain why I like to utilize the word use when I want to sound even LESS important than I already am.

Lesson for the Day learned. Time for a siesta.
