+1...friends of mine picked up a pair of his & hers 2.1's a couple of months ago and think they're the best bikes that they've ever had under them...they comment on the geometry and the relaxed, more upright riding position...they still bug me about my new hybrid and how I should have gone with their bikes...they're both in their late 50's and tell me that these bikes are perfect for their style of riding (150km road rides are their choice de weekend)
