Solid bike
I purchased this bike in early 2025 and have had the chance to put a few hundred miles on it. I was looking for a less-expensive bike to commute and use for longer rides on mixed surfaces. It's a snappy bike, quick to accelerate and rides smoothly. The shifting works far better than I expected, well enough to make me consider using Microshift for future bikes. The brakes have been my least favorite component - adequate, but they will be upgraded soon. I appreciate that the tires and wheels are tubeless ready, I just had to use my own stems and add sealant. Obviously this isn't the lightest bike possible, nor does it have the latest fancy wireless tech - but it just works and works well. All said, I'm very happy with the bike and CBO's build.
