Any way I could try out a Dynamic Sprint?

[bhtooefr]

Please no comments on the inefficiencies of a shaft drive - I'd like to ride one for myself, and see.

I'm considering purchasing a Dynamic Sprint, for use as a commuter. The low maintenance appeals to me.

Anyway, why I'm posting in here... I'd like to be able to take one for a ride before I buy. And, as Dynamic doesn't normally sell at LBSes, I wouldn't be able to do so normally.

So, anyone in central OH have one? I'd need either the 22" or 24" frame. (Not sure which, which is part of the reason why I want to test ride.)

Offtopic reply: (tm) If low maintenance appeals to you, also check out single speeds or fixed gears. I pretty much don't ever do anything to mine.

Just saying.

I have read about some shaft drives being rather expensive to maintain due to high wear on parts.

That mother is pretty heavy...
Interesting.

I have read reviews on here that said that the Dynamic shaft drives weren't bad at all on parts wear.

And, trust me, I know about SS and FG. Actually, if I were to go that route, I'd go internal hub - I need my gearing.

Hello bhtooefr: I have a Dynamic (but I live in SF!). I can't give you a test ride, but I am generally happy with mine. I have only had it for a couple of weeks. I commute with it about 60-80 miles/week. I'll let you know how I feel about it in a month. :)
