I'm pretty close to ordering, as I think it would make a decent stablemate to my Fantom CX for the days I don't need gears (most of the time, really). The short WB concerns me because I want to put a rack on it, but it is longer than a Kilo WT, and my Fantom CX is pretty long. So I think I'll be okay with an Uno.
+1 on BD selling an aluminum version. One hopes bikesdirect_com will see this thread again!
