Has anyone compared the two in terms of ride quality, geometry, and overall value? I know it is hard since the Moto is not available in stores.
I don't visit this forum much so I may be a bit behind the topic but.. Whne I bought my Uno I really wanted a Bianchi San Jose but $800 was just tooo much for a SS so I got the Uno instead. I do not use it nearly as much as I should but I don't really just run down to the cafe' or the corner bar that often. Great bike though.

I really considered a IGH for it too but then decided against when I realized I didn't want to hassle with clamps for the cable routing.

One thing I did find annoying was that I had to use P clips for the fenders as I could not use the provided screwhole with a chain tensioner
