I guess I need to weigh in here...

Never wanted to try one as I thought they were weird looking and made in the Far East and all that. Until I saw a used F8 in my size for super cheap on eBay. Was still skeptical, but bought it, built it, rode it and absolutely loved it. I mean, it just worked!

Fit like a glove, super comfy, handles great and just overall amazingly well built. And, this is crazy as I’m not even close to being a weight weenie. Without even trying, it built up to be 16lbs with pedals. This is for a size 59.5.

So, of course I sold it!!!

And then I bought a Dogma K10-S. Same geometry, same high quality with an adjustable soft tail rear suspension, flat mount disc brakes and can handle 28’s easily.

Sold off all my rim brake bikes except my beloved Ottrott. Waiting on a custom No22 disc brake Ti bike.

And....I’m done!!!!!!
