It was a really cool bike, but I have a number of bikes that serve a similar purpose. In the end this bike just didn't offer anything a regular 29er doesn't—it wasn't any faster, it wasn't any more comfortable, and the drops could be a handful in rough terrain. I'm not going to tour the world anytime soon, so out it went.
I sold all the dropbar-specific components along with it. The funds went towards a new set of wheels for the latest project.
Later.
