Summary
The Mason Resolution is celebrated for its modern steel ride quality, brilliant handling, and versatility, making it a standout in the endurance category. While it offers a durable and engaging ride with excellent tire clearance and classic aesthetics, it faces criticism for its weight and firm ride quality, especially on climbs. Reviews highlight its balanced performance and intuitive handling but note limitations in comfort and shifting precision.

Brilliant handling
Very good tire clearance

Attention to detail in construction

Limited variety of convertible ports for internal routing

The Resolution 2 just feels good, and I feel good every time I’ve ridden it.
Cycling TipsLike the illegitimate child of a Pegoretti and a Surly, it’s a thing of beauty, and it exudes durability and versatility.
CyclistDespite the supposed weight penalty, a steel frame can be very competitive.

So good to ride, I nearly bought it for myself.
Quintessentially modern steel ride quality, brilliant handling, very good tire clearance, classic good looks.
Somewhat clumsy internal cable routing, substantially heavier than non-ferrous competitors, not as comfortable as you might expect, so-so value.
