Stratus XP frameset available

Rick at Plano Cycling tells me that he's got a Stratus XP frame that he wants to sell, CHEAP...  If anybody has been considering doing a homebuild, give him a call and ask him about it.
 
(Now if I could just find a similar offer on an XStream frame....    Roll Eyes  )

It depends on what you've got to go through to commute.  It's a LITTLE long for some situations..  Cool  but it certainly works for my commute through city streets.

The long wheelbase eliminates the chance for a heal-strike.  
An elecrical assist would be good for those days when you dont want show up sweaty.

You are correct, there is no heel strike on the SXP...   Unless you drop your front wheel into a storm grate at 20 mph...   Roll Eyes Huh   (Not me, another guy I know)
