At least I think so. Needs a few better parts but for the most part, a good buy IMO.

I picked up an SE Lager a month ago and LOVE IT!

That Draft is a great deal for a brand new SS.

Post your feedback later on whatcha think about the frame.

Congo rats!

I'll def. keep everyone posted. I've done abour 15 miles on it already and love it. My biggest complaint is the bar setup. I need to get a set of moustache or drop bars for it and it'll be a lot more comfortable. As it is, my wrists and the heels of my palms are killing me.

The SE Lager comes with bullhorns and I'm really enjoying them. I kinda think drop bars are over kill?

I think probably, yeah. Then again, this is my first non-mountain setup so I'll have to do some experimentation.

I put a spare set of EA70s I had on my flat bar road bike and it feels lots better than the plain flat bars.

A friend of a friend just donated an old pair of drop bars with levers so I think I'm set...overkill or no, they cost me a beer. I do plan on bieng an ano whore with this bike though.

I just looked, the Draft is apparently different from the Lager.

I was gonna say that I'm fine with mine, but, ya know, not the same.

Still, ride it until it becomes an issue?

they're a bit short and not very stiff, but until i find some decent cranks with an american bb for a good deal, ill just have to live with them

well sure, but the Brew wasn't available when I purchase and I'm happy with mine.

The Brew is very cool looking in many areas, but $1050 MSRP? Ouch.
yeah...the whole idea behind the purchase was a spankin new full setup for under 200 bucks that will last a while

for under $200, you can ride that thing until it breaks in half, and then go buy another one!

I'm happy if I crash my mountain bike and get out for under $200!
