I disliked this frame so much I swapped it out for a Yelli Screamy, but it looked so lonely just sitting there on the garage floor. I couldn't help myself.

I will have to check. They came on the GT standard. They suck for anything beyond gravel trails or short city rides. I eventually got enough confidence to go clipless MTB. My knees and man parts paid the price many times because my feet slipped off those pedals.

Looks good. Always fun to have something to change it up a bit and rigid SS is a good change-up. Have you gotten the Yelli out to the trails yet?
