People, you must calm down on swobo.......I like them and bought their Otis because it was a bike that transcend'd mediocrocy. It is different...it does not shout look at me on my expensive bike. It is built as well as any other decent bike for the money....decent welds, aluminum 7000 series, truvativ crank, SRAM i-motion system, avid bb5's disc up front, etc. I do not care about the bottle opener under the seat, but is different.
I do not worship swobo, never will....but they had a bike that fit my criteria of being minimalistic, well made, simple to operate and would never win a beauty contest.
Their clothing is top notch quality.
