You’ll spend a lot of time sitting on the top tube waiting for friends to get the the bottom of the hill. Never had a frame do me so right on descents. I always know what’s happening through my hands and the bottom of my feet and its just so easy to lean it over when you need to. I know it’s all subjective and all that…. but it’s a thrill to ride down hill. I climb just to come down.
I know the feeling very well. I have had bikes just about kill me going downhill, some that i’m still scared to ride fast downhill.
The SV is solid.

Glad to see the blog moving again.
I’m waiting on my SM road bike and the content here makes the wait a little easier. Thanks.

Well, I’ll keep riding mine on your behalf… until yours shows up. I’m trying to ride it into the ground so I can order another one… problem is .. it’s still good as new. Ridiculous. Maybe next year.
Noel.
