Nice bike, gomango. I would only point out that yours appears to be more of a touring model (eyelets on the dropouts, longer wheelbase) compared to the one toosahn is looking at, which looks more like a racing model. That doesn't mean the green one will be an uncomfortable ride - the one I had certanly wasn't, and it was a racing model - but I suspect it will be a stiffer, more responsive, less road-shock-absorbing ride than yours.
