The review was well done and had lots of video footage of him riding on trails/paths. I found it interesting that he is riding a frame size that fits but he could ride up one size. He mentioned that the smaller size would allow him to utilize drop bars but wasn't ideal for swept back bars without a fairly long stem. But, he set his Sam Hillborne up with Bosco bars. Anyway, it was a nice review. Doug Hansford
