Well not to derail a perfectly good thread much but a) I love it b) I am five feet tall and have been keeping an out out for a cheaper old steel road bike that will fit me, and it's kids bikes or nothing, it seems, so I have accepted that highest quality is not what mostly goes into those, and c) I'm just riding around, I don't need to win races or maximize value. I'm gonna wind flowers through the bars and take it to Bike Party. :-)
