Just done one 15-mile ride, but it is true to the test ride I did a year or two ago of an earlier model..... very responsive, taut, fast, and comfortable. The riding position seems VERY upright to me but that might be more with my being unfamiliar with hybrids.

Still sorting the rack/fender situation. There are separate mounts for each near the dropouts, one for the Plug-N-Play fender system and a separate set of bosses to mount the rack stays inboard of the chain stays. There's also a boss on the brake bridge (or what would be a brake bridge if the bike had caliper brakes). I'll have to sort this all over time. The LBS says that Plug-N-Play fenders are tough to fit with the stock 38mm tires. I'm probably going to skip the fenders.

More impressions after more rides.

Enough clearance for wider tires?
