im glad yall posted this. i have trek roadie that is to fast for my leisurely bike friends to keep up with so i have been wanting a single speed for less serious rides. just trips downtown or to the nearby bars and coffee shops that dont require my clipless shoes, i could just hop on this and ride. i have been looking the kilo everyone in this section raves about and compared to my trek its pretty affordable but really i would prefer it to have different handlebars and use wider, hybrid type tires. since this is so cheap, it might just suit me fine. it only wieghs a half pound more than my roadie. thanks guys.
