Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this frame is made out of carbon, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Shiv Pro Frameset has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Specialized Shiv Pro Frameset 2016 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
