Wow, awesome bike. How fast do you think you can climb a hill on that? I'd lose the chain guard and throw on 20c tires just to lose a few grams too, and get a carbon fork, it'll be worth the extra investment.

my brother found one of these in the trash. it's sitting in my garage but the crank got stripped from his friends riding around on it with the pedal half tightened.
