The bike is solid enough, but I was bargain shopping and looking for a bike to ride on the street with the occasional curb to hop when I bought it. I ended up buying it new for a used price because it was a store return. Unfortunately it is a 22" frame or XL, which wasn’t a problem with the light duty BS riding I had in mind when I bought it. I am 5’11", with long legs and arms. Plus the Response XCT is an exeptionally handsome bike LOL. IT is matte black and very rugged looking. I have no real complaints other than no lockout and frame size. I guess I went to the dance with a big girl, so I’ll have to dance with her for a bit. Since the original post, I have learned a few things. I slid my seat forward and have ordered a 60mm stem with a 30 degree angle. The seat adjust helped ALOT and I am hopeful the new stem will be even more helpful.
