a good friend of mine has one of the stock Hab's. He's been happy with it. Not sure just how much I'd trust the company to design a well performing bike with very odd geometry, but that's a question probably best posted to the owner of the Hab above. Also, being such a large guy, I would seriously research Ti in large frames before you buy. Give Carl Strong a call or email him, get his input on if a Ti frame would be too flexible for you. He may suggest steel as a better option, but I'm not going to assume either way but wanted to bring it up based on what I've read from frame builders regarding Ti in large frames and/or larger riders.
