Thanks! That was the type of input I was looking for. I really need the 16" wheels for the compactness. Weight is not as much of an issue at the moment. The Piccolo is a compromise for me between price, availability and size. I like the idea of the "dyno" hub in that I don't have to a)worry about being caught out after dark and b) have to mess with battery lights, they always seem to go dead right before you need them.
