Nice looking ride and sounds like good value, especially with the 20% off coupon.

One comment: the brake cables/housing are way too long both esthetically and functionally. I would ask REI to shorten them and set it up correctly (I still kick myself for not doing this on a road bike I bought 2 1/2 years ago -- I have to look at those too-long badly routed cables hanging off of the handlebars on every ride [new housing going on this spring...finally!]).

Do you have any idea on the weight?
