This bike works great for me as it's almost the same geometry as my road bike and feels quite cushy with the wider tires. Another plus is in the excellent handling and V-brakes. Even the bear trap EZ fire shifting is well suited for ice and muck. This is my daily bad weather commuter and...'the bike I can always just hop on and ride'. This will be the bike I use if I ever do some loaded touring...works great with clip-ons as well.
