Bikes: En plus one

Well, I had to get one also, thanks bandhole forsharing your discovery, I was able to get your great price too.
I got the M Fixie version in flat blue.
Fun little bike. Steel frame, 451 wheels and surprisingly good quality parts. Cartridge bottom bracket, double pivot caliper brakes, presta valves, good wheels and hubs.....

I have barely put a hundred miles on it, but am really happy with it. I wanted a fixie for the winter and this one fits the bill quite nicely. The gearing is low enough, and the minivelo format makes the fixie experience a lot less intimidating, this is my first fixie. I will likely change the handle bars to BMX bars to get a bit more height, I am a bit too tall for a 49 cm frame. The seat has to go, a bit of an ass hatchet, but the rest I am happy with. Will update when I get back home.
