Removed the frames from their boxes last night and I have to admit they are sweet frames. I may have to go back for more if Nashbar has a sale this weekend and there are any frames left. The welds are not only clean, but flawless - some kind of joint smoothing technology. I got each in a different shade of dark grey, the paint job is really nice, and the frames were packed very well. I can't complain, but I want to make one a true roadie and that is hard to do with the canti pegs in the rear, but standard road brakes have a place too. My stable currently contains a road bike with canti pegs, and I use V-brakes on that. It was the Nashbar FB-1 in a 57cm (also a sweet frame), but the hybrid geometry makes it more like a 60cm. Stripping that bike down and selling the frame. The Legato is also hybrid geometry, but I got a 54 for the road bike and will make the 56 a hybrid to flip.

I know this is a disc frame thread, but couldn't help sharing the info. If you are thinking about a Legato, it is a steal. I would imagine the GT and Schwinn road frames are a steal as well, but twice as much.
