CHRIS JOHNSON'S STRONG FRAME

Here is a photo of my new Strong Custom Ti for the "road" category in the gallery. It arrived in early December 2003 and I have been extremely pleased. It is amazing how well Carl absolutely nailed the ride characteristics and fit. I have been riding a LeMond Zurich for over 5 years and thought the fit was just fine until Carl's creation arrived. I am now enjoying a whole new level of comfort and performance that I couldn't even imagine before. The craftsmanship is incredible. To be honest, its a little frightening how much I find myself just staring at the bike. The photo doesn't do it justice. Maybe I can send a better one later.

My Strong has custom geometry 6/4 ti, Reynolds Ouzo Pro light fork, DuraAce 2004 10-speed components, and Dave Thomas' Speed Dream wheels.

My original plan was to save money and buy the "old" DuraAce 9-speed components, but decided this is my dream bike and I would go all the way. I am very pleased with the comfortable new brake hoods and the silky smooth shifting. Having that extra cog is nice too.
