I am interested in maybe fitting one of them with a Nexus 8spd and see how it goes. I couldn't decide between colors so I bought and orange and a white. Some family member will be the lucky recipient of the one I don't want. The orange is sort of cool but I could lay down some interesting graphics on the white one though. I would have went with black but Yan says it won't be for a while in the FS and I wanted one now. Just in time to mount up some studded tires and ride in the snow here. Anyone know what the widest tire you can put on it is? Anyone try any 20x2.0's? I was thinking a set of Big Apples could be pretty cool for a city commuter.

Anyway I'll anxiously be waiting for them to probably ship next week. I hope they are as good as everyone says.
