Still needs a front der and a new cassette. I still might pickup a new crank. The crank arms don't tighten up on each other evenly. Even when I bolt it up outside the BB housing, you can tell where the wobble is coming from. The screw bottoms out, and the right arm face doesn't seat correctly against the faces at the end of the spline.
I road it a bit on Saturday, it sure was a lot of fun to ride. It's got that springy steel feel. The geometry seems right too, little bit long on the top tube - close the Bontrager's measurement actually. The 72 degree head tube angle is pretty strange actually. When I was climbing with it is when I could tell the most difference. You definitely feel less like a monster truck and more on top of the front wheel. Should make for a better climber and technical bike, maybe not as good of a descender? We'll see.
