One of the coolest riding bikes I've owned. I'm the high-end road guy at one of the nation's busiest shops, and I see a lot of cool stuff come through the doors. I can honestly say that we carry just about every brand out there - and I chose IF. I've had the steel crown jewel for oveer a year now and it's a real blast. I ordered with the steel fork - it handles like it is on rails. It's probably one of the best climbing bikes I've ever been on. Must have something to do with those Foco chainstays.
I've visited their operation near Boston (as well as some of their competition) and I can say that I was more impressed with their QC and tolerances than any of the others. I also own their steel planet X. I'm trying to sell my steel crown jewel so that I can afford to buy the Ti Crown Jewel. Hope this helps.
