Just being nosey - I'm thinking about a Catalyst myself, and wondering if you've found any faults you'd like to share...

I use a BOB Ibex trailer for touring and have a rackbag on the rack with all my spare parts and tools, If I go off for a ride without the trailer everything I need is still in the rackbag.Oh yes and I had the seat-post rack already so decided to use it.
The black strips?? to cover the logos, when I tour most of them are covered to make the bike look like a piece of trash. and hopefully not worth stealing. this is the reason the bike is matt black too
Problems...none the bike has performed perfectly, and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
