I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for helping me make the decision on my new Bike Friday. I bought the Pocket Pilot, with 105 componentry and the Chris King head set. When the bike arrived it was quite out of tune. I was unable to get the rear derailleur properly adjusted. Also, both front and rear brifters were difficult to shift. I tried a few adjustments myself, but just couldn't get it working correctly. Bike Friday was very generous and offered to pay for a tune up tune at my LBS. Well it came home the other day and I am very happy. I've attached a couple photos of my new baby. Thanks again.

With all my upgrades, hard shell case, carrying bag, two extra tires, five extra tubes, and the capreo hub tool, it was about $1,800.00.

I am filled with envy and jealousy! Beautiful bike and the exact componentry I would want. Enjoy,
