Thanks! I took it for a brief ride tonight, just because I HAD TO

It really feels great. Like I mentioned before, this is my first Single-speed bike since childhood, so the real test has yet to take place. But compared to my old ride (Trek MTB) this thing is CAKE.

A few questions have arisen (and many more to follow as I break it in) - - since this is a single-speed, while there is a quick-release on the front wheel, there isn't one on the back. Best to carry a ratchet in my seat bag in case I get a flat, no? How do you guys handle that one?

Also - since this is a cromoly frame (steel,) a buddy of mine said I should really look after it in the event the paint gets scratched, so I don't get any rust. Anybody know where I can get a tube of matching touch-up paint?
