It did take a while but he was living in Boulder and visited often.
It's even WORSE than that....
lthumbsdown:
the owner says Dean has a history of stress fractures where the headset is pressed in on some of their frames.
Dean's quality control (rep too?) has seemingly gone downhill since about 2001 or 2002. I have a 2000 Dean steel hardtail that has held up perfectly over 5 years of riding. Based on ride quality alone, I would have no problem purchasing another Dean. Sadly though, the reasons quoted above would likely persuade me otherwise.
That's not a shortcoming...that's a "feature".Looks like he's short of "Reba clearence" too. (Rubber thingy on downtube) Maybe he could get them to fix that too.
