Well, to start, I am not a fan of the frame geometry. I mean the BB is set high and the head tube is way too short. Do a search on CC pics and I bet 80% have a huge stack of spacers. Seems "most" people are not happy with the frame geometry. Yeah, I get it that some folks ride with little or no rise, but the majority load up the spacers.

Horizontal dropouts....been covered....

Crazy "safety pin" style rear brake cable hanger seems like an after thought. I mean it works, but it certainly isn't the best engineering. Still can't figure out why there isn't a frame mounted hanger.

So, before I get flamed, remember the OP asked for reasons to not get one.

The bike isn't bad. I had a blast riding mine, but in my opinion, there are better options out there. I thought the Soma Saga, Pake C'Mute and the Salsa Vaya were all pretty decent.

I ended up selling my CC frame and built a Vaya and couldn't be happier. Then again, my buddy who bought the CC loves it...so different strokes for different folks I suppose.
