I like the SpeedPro. It's very comparable to my former "portable roadie", which was a converted DT Front Suspension. They both had very good drivetrains and fast wheels/tires. The SpeedPro has the SRAM DualDrive, which is new for me, so I was very curious about it. I like it - very very wide range (something like 25-125 gear-inches), easy to use. The SpeedPro has no front suspension, so that's obviously nice for going fast. It's not particularly light, since the DualDrive is pretty heavy, but that's life...

The wheels on the SpeedPro are ALX DA16, came with the bike, and tires are Primo Comets.
