I have over 3000 miles on mine in rocky conditions and have broken three spoke nipples, other than that it is a ROCK! Go tubeless and save weight easily, I run 2.6 maxxis on both ends and cut the bars to 720mm. The cheap water bottles and cage from Wal-Mart fit perfect on this frame! I run some Rock Bros neon green flat pedals and it looks cool with the green frame along with green foam grips. This is a great bang for the buck bike!
