By TandemStoker from Southeast Indiana on 05/31/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Great Components, Handles Well, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: [...]. This bike has turned out to be a very nice, comfortable ride.
By BikeWrencher from Cincinnati, OH on 05/04/2009 Cons: Low grade parts, Unimpressive frame, Vastly overpriced Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: There's no way this is worth [$]! The MSRP is a fantasy. You could do so much better with a Trek 2.3. Better parts, much better frame, easy warranty support, and IT COSTS LESS!
Recall notice on the Isaac fork... By Tandem Stoker from Indiana on 03/19/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Durable, Great Components, Handles Well, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I have been out on this bike only two times since receiving it because there just did not seem to be something right in the headset. I took it to my local bike shop, and the guys there couldn't get it adjusted either. It turns out that Isaac released a recall on all their carbon forks/bikes in January because of safety issues related to certain combinations and assemblies of Isaac forks and Isaac expanders. This applies to all such products made since 2004 to present. Isaac requires the product be returned to the Isaac dealer for replacement -- not something easy to do since the bike was purchased through STP.
Just got it out of the box.... By Tandem Stoker from Indiana on 02/07/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Great Components, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: and so I have not ridden it, BUT, a few things you should know about STP and their inspection and packaging by a "certified" bicyle mechanic: 1)the tubes provided had stems too short for the rims, and so could not be pumped with my regular bike pump (my husband had to use the one that we carry on our tandem); 2)the headset was not adjusted properly and therefore had A LOT of play; 3)there were a few parts loose in the bottom of the box. That said, this is a beautiful bike, sleek and elegant in an understated way. I prefer not to have a flashy paint job because I would fret at the first nick. [...] I'll write another review after I've taken this out on the road--I purchased this to replace my old Trek 400 from 1988 (which is still a great bike). Images shared by: Tandem Stoker
