a crappy phone pic of the Miyata Elevation 2000 in the middle of a 53 mile mixed terrain race in the woods above Monte Rio, Ca. My race may not have gone as well as hoped for, but the bike held up. I love the mixed terrain idea, but not dirt descents on 700's while in an "aggressive roadie" position. So I found the Schwalbe CX Pro 26 X 1.35 tire and really like the results, traction and smooth rolling. This bike will see a lot more of this.
