I chose it because it was $60 and has full Deore 9s components. Even after the $40 in parts and day of labor I put into it, you won't find those specs for that price.
I am, however, partial to Specialized as well, and just happened to get lucky. I would have considered almost any reputable brand. Actually, I would have preferred an M2 frame because I believe it's lighter, but beggars can't be choosers.

I've never had a problem with it.......trying to pick a new color though...thinking of DSG metallic..
Yeah, it's not a problem except when I get out of the saddle. Then it's a pogo stick unless I watch my form like crazy.
DSG?
