The drive side seat stay had a couple of chips in the paint. Oddly, I think this happened BEFORE it went into the shipping box because the box was received in perfect condition. No perforations or gouges anywhere on the box which is also unusual. I also went through the usual process that most folks in this thread have experienced with bearing lubrication and adjustment, brake adjustment, rim tape, etc. so I won't bore you with that here.

I hope to take it for a shakedown ride later today but here it is in the trainer after my initial set up:

I made a few obvious changes which I'll discuss in a review after I've had a chance to ride it and perhaps make additional changes.

One thing did surprise me. There has been a lot of discussion here through the years about what tires will fit in the Nano frame. Upon unboxing, I found a LOT of room around the 20x1.50 tire shaped objects that came with the bike (more about that later) so I put on a pair of 20x1.75 (47-406) tires that I had taken off one of my folders. Here is the result:

and:

As you can see, there is still plenty of room for more rubber. If I had a burning desire, I could probably easily fit 20x1.95 tires on the bike. Although not pictured, there is also plenty of room at the front fork. I will probably stay with 1.75s on the stock rims because they are on the narrow side.

I'll try to get a more detailed review up later this week. Thanks for reading and all constructive criticism is welcome!
