Great bike though!
Thanks.
This bike and I have a love hate relationship. I love it for all the things that it can do for me--take on studded tires, have a rack and pannier, able to mount CX tires on it to go on trails and dirt roads. But whenever I am using for hauling stuff it is heavy, and so I always associate it as a heavy, slow rider, which I hate, even though when unladen it actually feels okay.
