Title-1200C

Findings:

• "COMFORT GEOMETRY: With a shorter cockpit more akin to a slack-tubed mountain bike than a stretch-you-out-race machine, and a rear triangle more generous than that of many road bikes, the 1200C lets you sit more upright and be more comfortable for more miles."
• "COMFORT PARTS: Check out the alloy suspension seatpost, adjustable-rise bar and tall-sidewall, Bontrager Race Lite 28c tires that will soak up the bumps."
• "FRAME: Alpha Aluminum"
• "FORK: Carbon w/alloy steerer"
• Summary: "Approachable, friendly-more like a hug than a bike"
