COMFORT OF STEEL<br />
There is an allure to steel that transcends its traditional artisan appeal. And that’s its ride, the legendary<br />
benchmark that all frame materials are measured against.<br />
Whether you’re looking at ride, strength, value or durability, steel comes out on top. It’s only when you<br />
factor in weight that it loses out to aluminum, and until you get into the super expensive carbon frames<br />
like our Xenith line, its magical ride simply cannot be matched. Which is why our Quest and Satellite<br />
continue to enjoy a devoted following. These are the original comfort road bikes and the ones against which<br />
all others are measured.<br />
But they don’t look like the original Quest and Satellite. New for ’08, we’ve brought our size-specific tubing (SST)<br />
concept from our Xenith and Ventura series bikes and offer it on both models. While re-jigging and re-tooling, we<br />
also sloped the top tube for a lighter frame and more modern look that sacrificed nothing in terms of ride quality.<br />
These are the consummate all-rounders -- light-duty commuter, cross country tourers, even occasional racers -- that<br />
are ideal for century riders and summertime roadies alike.<br />
We completely overhauled our Quest and Satellite frames for <strong>2008</strong>. Beginning with a<br />
sloping top tube design that allows us to save weight and increase lateral stiffness while<br />
still retaining the smooth, resilient ride qualities our steel road bikes are famous for.<br />
These frames also feature SST, size-specific-tubing dimensions, to custom tune ride and<br />
performance attributes for each rider and frame size. But we still offer the longer head<br />
tube of last year’s frames and a full 60mm of removable stem height spacers so you can<br />
tune your ride position to the flexibility of your back.<br />
