If those had 20" wheels instead of 16" I would be all over it! I'm still mightily tempted but would need to actually ride one on the crappy roads here first. Since I just this morning sent my BF to Eugene for a major overhaul and repainting, I will wait. At 20 lbs for a 16 inch wheel against my small frame BF at 24.3 lbs, it's not an obvious call.

Same thing with the e-kit. I'm thinking about a shareroller (around 6 lbs) which again keeps the weights pretty similar.

I wonder if you can put 20" wheels on the PakiT**********??
