Thanks for the comments. I keep seeingcomments about parts quality but the bike direct bike uses Shimano Deores same as a Gary Fisher..same shifts, BD has a SUNTOUR crank same size and tooth count... I did see areview where the BD frame was not as responsive but other wise everything elseis the same..
I know that if I put 1000 miles on this in a year that will be a good year forme..
Being a technician by trade I cant see where simple adjustments could be thathard with the proper documentation.
Also when I was a kid we bought a 10 speed, and we rode... I saw an old guy atthe LBS yesterday and he asked what happened to that??
