I've put around 1000 miles on this guy between my house and the office. I just got from fenders from Velo-Orange on there yesterday. Unfortunately, I never got used to the original brake levers so swapped them out for a new pair of Tekro's with matching brakes. It's a definite upgrade to my big clyde self going down the one man-made bridge we have and being able to stop. The chrome fenders definitely set it off nicely, my little isolation project.
