And on the same day, while I was trackstanding at light, a confused ped asked "Was that bike like that when you bought it?" I tink he meant the Nano's design.
On another front, I was doing some gear inch calcs today and figured it would be about twice as effective to have an 11 tooth rear cog as it would to give the Nano a 54 tooth front ring, and a 54/11 combo is about equivalent to a 52/14 or so on a regular roadie. I think my drivetrain may get another upgrade shortly...
