This is a very active forum. Thanks for all the replies everyone.
That's a really cool bike. Now on topic, have you changed out a tube/ tire yet? It's not a really difficult task- but one you wouldn't want to try and learn on the side of the road. Road bike tires aren't as easy to get on the rim as say a mountain bike.. anyway you may want to do a practice run. The rear tire may seem intimidating but it's NBD once done a time or two.
