So far pretty positive, right? Well let’s look at the top tube. I’m not a huge fan of the ‘fin’, strictly because of the way it looks. This feature was the first thing commented on by anyone who saw the bike. ‘Dude, don’t land on that or you’ll cut yourself in half,’ they’d say. I agree that it looks pretty severe, but I never fell on it and can’t actually remember the last time I rode the downtube. For me it was just cosmetic and not enough of a problem to warrant not shredding the bike because it worked so well. In fact, after a while, I’d get offended when people pointed out the fin, LOL (as if the bike was mine to keep). The bike was better than any cosmetic hang up of mine. My other concern was that replacement parts might be a little harder to come by than a ‘big-brand’ bike. MSC Bikes USA is in Boise, Idaho, however, so it’s not like you’ll be having to deal with Spain for a derailleur hanger.
