Good to hear about the fork!

The Classic is a fine bike, I really don't have any complaints so much as preferences. The biggest one is that the Classic has a 1" steerer tube, which is dated technology and limits my choices of replacement forks. Occasionally I wish for a stiffer frame, but the Classic also has a very smooth, comfortable ride, so there's always a trade off, I guess!

I hope you enjoy the Tuscany, and get many miles of happy use!
