Not trying to dig up an old thread but I have this bike and I love it. I was looking at road bikes and then out of the blue I saw the silver SF I and asked to try it out. The layout felt really nice. I then found out they had an 8 speed so I ordered it. I got it at Bicycle Garage. At first the neck was too low for me so I had them install a riser. I changed out the the pedals and the seat too. It rides so smooth now. When I'm on it I average 9-11 mph easy and if I push it I can hit 20mph on flat ground. My buddy hit 31 mph on it. I'm thinking of changing out the rear cog so I can go a bit faster. You can find me cruising around Lake Elizabeth.
