Greetings everyone,
I have a 2003 or 04 Speed pro, this was just before the suspension front hub. It has a 3x8 sram dualdrive. The front wheel has been rock solid. I started experiencing spokes breaking and went ahead and replaced all of the rear spoke (the stock ones must have been flawed or very low quality). I had no problems with spokes after that. Eventually the brakes, I believe wore the rear wheel and it cracked. I called Velocity (the make of the wheel). They told me to send them my hub and they built be a beautiful new wheel free-of-charge.
I ride this baby to work everyday in the summer and have taken it on the plane a couple times to conventions. I've also taken it for several 50 mile rides.
Apart from the rear wheel and spokes, I have had no problems, it is very comfortable and I absolutely prefer it for city riding because of the quick handling and being able to shift while stopped.
So take it for what it's worth, there is a relatively positive review of the speed pro.
I'm 5'11" and 200lbs.
