I loved this frame set but had to part ways with it. Stems are garbage they strip with time both bikes same issue. I also had a fixed cog break on the 1st one stopping for a light. Wheels don't stay true for too long maybe 2 months after that spokes start to get loose. The BIGGEST downfall to the bike is the frame the one I purchased suffered far worse cracks at the bottom near the bottom bracket (chainstay areas). I never noticed up until I saw the rust forming its color. The 2nd one started developing cracks in the same areas this time I noticed it before it could get worse. Now this was on the 2nd one they sent me which my only issue with both was the paint job was seemed to be done in either a rush or sloppy manner. I rode the 1st one through all weather conditions. So the the cracks got worse with time. The 2nd bike only saw dry weather and some rain. I rode both bikes 5 days a week as it was my way to get to work. Now $500 later im stuck with a Golden cycles steel bike for now. I hope that if you guys bring out another steel bike I hope you guys can make sure the frames wont rot. I've had more than 6 steel bikes and this is a 1st time dealing with cracks. I miss catching road bikes off guard while on a sprint on this bike. To anyone buying steel bikes make sure the description shows the bike has rust coating. Oh and the 1st one I rode for about 5 months before I realized it was cracked. The 2nd bike didn't even last 2 months.
