Matt's bike is a special one. Powerful and muscular, yet supple. Aesthetically conservative, yet compellingly sexy. This Signature frame is testament to the subtle art of design, construction, and materials. Carefully crafted from Dedacciai EOM 16.5, this semi-compact frame has achieved its goal. Matt has given us permission to reprint his unsolicited impression of his new ride. Thanks Matt.

only 100 miles on the new bike but it didn't take but 1 ride to realize this bike is absolutely awesome! it is a perfect blend of agility and stability. you nailed the geometry! my experience with motocross and road racing is it's rare to get a bike to be quick without being a bit nervous at speed or conversely if you dial it in for stability you slow down turning. it's really hard to get both, but you did it and it is so fun to ride. the tubing is light but very rigid yet i get total feel for the road (steel!) without it being harsh or dead. the shark skin silver and yellow lettering turns heads and the wheels are the best i have ever ridden. this bike is second to none.

thanks!!
