This bike is fast becoming my go to Urban cycle. I Cruise on this bike about as fast as on my Soma Double Cross or Univega Sportour. Fun, quick and nimble are words that come to mind when riding this bike. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be. I am really glad I took the plunge and purchased this bike. Enjoyed every minute of outfitting and upgrading this bike. Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread over the last few years, I have learned a lot from so many of you guys through this thread.
