that was a little presumptuous, but idk if 'intelligence' is the right word.

Yeah I'm all torso. It's a sweet frame actually. I broke this Orbea frame that i was using and picked that Allez frame up off Craigslist for like $250. One of the best purchases I've made...it's surprisingly light and stiff. Rattles me pretty good w/ the 23c tires, though, definitely need to use 25c for long days

This trail is just outside the town of Snoqualmie, Washington. Photo taken just after I had the new fork installed a couple of weeks ago. We get alot of rain 'round these parts....

Humboldt is obv way farther south, but it is still the PNW for sure.
Very similar vegetation to what you posted in that photo.

it's finally dialed in.
quick recap: I get to ride it for free until October. Then I can buy at it cost or give it back to Spy.
the frame doesn't feel any different in handling or stiffness than my aluminum Soul. the only real perceptible difference comes from the wheels.
they (wheels) aren't quite as agile as my low profile alu clinchers, but they keep speed very well. it's very obvious above 25 mph or so, huge energy saver.
