Bikes: Marin Bolinas ridge, Carlton Corsa 5, Falcon Olympic 12, 98 Shesh Rockhopper,

So, I am buying a Viva Belissimo.

Anyone else rode one of these, and was very surprised at how supple and nice it felt, quite quick on acceleration too, I will buy a 2013 one through work, should have it in a few days.
The bike I am getting is a single speed, although one plan is to convert it to Nexus 7, possibly do a bar change too.
Very classic and simple,

I will ride it for a while before converting to 7 speed.
I may even buy a 3 speed SA 5 speed hub, so I can run something other than grip shift, which for me is one draw back on my Jamis Commuter 3, do not like grip shifts personally.
