I kind of like it, seems like a nice get around bike comparable to the All-City Big Block. Would be nice if they offered an alternative tire selection but they do specify you can request customizations, so maybe they will swap them for the 28mm Panaracer Pasela tires.

The issue is this forum has pointed to Wabi again and again as a very solid, affordable FG bike from a brand with good customer service and a disregard for stupid trends.

Then they put out something that incorporates pretty much everything we hate in one package and charge $1500 for it.
