O-Town, There Stanless Steel. LOL
Womble, I want to do and unbiased review. Becasue I feel that a good frame and cheap components bicycle can be a good starter or budget bike for any one.
Ducati, Most the the weight on the Denali is in the threaded head set, one piece gooseneck, two piece handle bars, Steel hubs, Stamped steel cassette and chainrings. One could easly cut the weight down by 10 lbs or more on the Denali. I'll let you know what it weighs after the upgrades.
Slowandsteady, I have not seen this done before. I am curious to see if the bars can hold up to the stress that a one piece can. I for see the bar bending in the center after a while of hard riding. We Will see.
