Well, most importantly it fits me really well. I am 1.97cm, with a very long inseam. It's amazingly comfortable and stable, especially when compared to the frames I have had in the past. Furthermore, I was somewhat involved in the design and build process, which I really enjoyed. Steel frames last almost forever, and if they don't... well.. they can be fixed. This is a frame which will last me for a looooong time.
