• Super-rugged, smooth-operating internal headset.

  Great bike.  Have had mine for a few years, but did my first “serious” multi-day ride last summer; C&O/GAP and it rode like a dream.  Slogged through the mud, banged over the roots and hummed along on the dry stuff.  Bought the frame from CM, wheels and dyno hub from Peter White and had it built by College Park Bikes in Maryland.  Only problem is that I’ll never need to replace it so there is no Rohloff version in my future.

  Have only had my new Americano for a short while but I am extremely pleased with the fit and quality.  It is rock solid and a joy to ride.  I’ve never seen welds that looked this perfect.  I’m proud to have a bike that is made in the U.S.A.

  My Americano rides like no other bike I’ve ever had, no way I can describe it without using an over abundance of clichés. Smooth, responsive, solid blah blah blah. It just feels great. I wanted sort of an all-rounder for commuting, general riding, and loaded touring (when I can take the time for that), the Americano was a perfect choice. Clearance for wider tires is great (I ride 35s) and plenty of heel clearance for my size 14 feet. It’s a beautiful bike and tough at the same time. I like being able to jump off the pavement and see where that trail through the woods goes and this bike has never complained about it. Thanks Dwan and everybody at CoMo.

  I’ve had my Americano Co-Pilot for 11 years now. Most days, it’s simply my workhorse for my 9-mile daily commute. Although it’s no racing bike, it doesn’t feel like a handicap when I get talked into a post-work ride. Sometimes I still get asked to slow down! More importantly, I can put a any load on my Americano and it rides beautifully. On dirt roads, gravel, smooth asphalt or chip seal, it is comfortable and balanced. Am I biased? Sure, the bike is my design, but I have to say I’ve enjoyed this bicycle as much as any I’ve ever owned.        Dwan Shepard

  I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the extra effort you went through to have the bike ready on my birthday. It was awesome to pick it up on Monday. I rode it into work this morning, and it felt great! It rides so sweet! It is just hard to beat steel bike frames for that smooth silky ride. I got lots of compliments from my co-workers. Thanks again for everything! -Pete
