From: East Village, Manhattan, NYC

Bikes: Cannondale Synapse Carbon, Cayne Uno

just got one

Picked it up at Bicycle Station. They closed at 7PM but stayed until 8:30 putting it together for me (I got the first 56 available that day), upgraded the seat, wheels, and added a chain on the saddle for free. Even gave me another discount, $400 in hand. Incredibly nice guys, and I will be buying all of my gear from them from now on as I normally hate going to the local LBS. Answered all of my questions without the usual NYC superiority complex of fixie idiots.

Tight geometry, steel is a little harsh (but then again I've been riding a Synapse Carbon for the last year, the most comfortable ride ever) but the thing can move. I was very impressed with the performance of such a cheap bike, and it seems invincible. Not too heavy for a chromo frame, I haven't weighed it but it feels lighter than the pista.
