This is an amazing frameset and Bike Superior was awesome to work with to purchase this.
I am U.S. Military overseas in Japan, so getting many items to APO can be difficult. I emailed Bike Superior and received a response from Jochem who helped me through the purchase and shipping process. They understood I was doing a custom build on this frame and were more than happy to help. I would recommend working with this company to anyone looking for a bike.
As far as the performance of the bike, the steel frame is as light as can be, but it stiff and compliant in all the right ways. I paired this with a 2x11 GRX drivetrain, 46-30T Crankset and 11-24 cassette , went tubeless with a set of Hunt 4 Season Superdura Wheels paired with a set of Schwalbe G-One Allround tires, the PNW Coast Drop Bars with Fizik bar tape, and a variety of Wolftooth components. This bike came out amazing looking and after tuning it is good for the long hulls and for some quicker group rides. I plan to add a set of Hunt Carbon wheels in the future for my quicker solo and group rides.
I came to this from an aluminum frame Specialized Diverge and I do not regret it. At 99.5kgs, I needed something capable of performing under the pressure of my weight and with a bikepacking kit if desired.
Recommend this frameset and Bike Superior all day.
