3. it is very rugged with small strong wheel and a steel frame I can load the hell out of it or jump off a curb with confidence, its kinda like the fastest bmx you've ever ridden.

the disadvantages

1.the gearing can be a little tricky because of the small wheels, so I top out at 100 gear inches (not really a problem for me) and that is with a 55t chainring.
2.some people complain that the small wheels don't deal well with pot holes but I have found that with the 1.95 hookworms that isn't a big deal although they weigh alot. and i dont know how you feel about it but I cringe more on my 700c wheeled road bike when I hit a hole than I do in this thing.
