I've just bought one of the new Casserolls and it should be ready this weekend. I will use it for commuting and supported tours. If I do any loaded touring, I've got a Bob Jackson World Tour that will suffice. I really like the design of the new Casseroll - it has a level top tube, curved front fork, tall head tube, canti brakes and room for tires up to 38 mm with fenders. I had considered ordering one and decided to buy it on the spot after examining the frame first-hand at a local bike shop.

I really like the versatility of this frame. I plan to sell my mountain bike (which I rarely ever ride) after I get it built because the Casseroll will handle dirt roads, gravel, unpaved paths just fine with some larger tires.
