since you're actually in SF, what made you go MASH over LOW, or did you really not intend on buying that until you walked in?
LOWs have an 8-month wait that is not even guaranteed. I'm not that patient. Also, I didn't really expect to walk out of the store with a new frame (I was planning to wait another month or so), but Mike hooked it up. I was looking into either a LOW or a Bolt and I think, for what I do, the Bolt is the better choice. I do a lot of long-distance rides with tons of climbing on my fixed gear, so something with track-specific geo (pursuit) is not really the best option. Something with mild pursuit/compact road geo is much better as far as a comfort level over 60+ miles and 4kft+ of climbing in the saddle.
LOWs are mighty pretty, though.
