Had to drive all the way down to Leesburg but I was down there for other stuff anyway and they had one in my size. I adore the frame color and decals. The pictures do not do the bike justice, the orange is just beautiful. However, I was not a fan of the SRAM apex or the mega wide tires.
This is the 2nd bike I have ridden with SRAM apex and it confirmed my belief that I am a shimano girl. The 40cm tires made the bike feel really sluggish. I was surprised at this because even my Utopia with 700x38 tires that have much heavier tread seemed speedier and more nimble.
The bike store guy said I would notice a big difference if I put 28's on but even so that doesn't over come the SRAM. So I will continue to ride my Klein and long for a steel bike until I either find the perfect build or break down and buy a frame and beg DH to help me build it up myself.
