Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For Toronto riders ... Urbanite frames?

Has anybody had any experience with Urbanite road frames? Classic geometry Cro-Mo frames + steel fork sold out of a bicycling co-operative in downtown Toronto. I'm curious about them, and wonder if any of my fellow Torontonians have any input ...

Decent for commuting. Non-butted tubes though so don't expect any light weight miracles. Take a close look at the geometry info, they run long. The chrome forks are prone to rusting also.
