I have the Crius 3sp, wish there was a 5sp option over here when I got it.
I do feel that the IGH is draggy though.
This is really a nice bike.
So light that its easy to handle even when folded.
Its also very easy to push around if the folded bike is secured by a velcro (I use the bungee on my rear rack to do the same thing)
Very under-rated bike imo and often left unmentioned when folks discuss 14"-16" bike options.
I'll certain be looking out for your thread to see how things come along.
Fatter tires will make the ride nicer imo.
What do you think about the 5sp IGP? (GI seems good to cover most things).
