Has anybody heard anything about this bike? It's the first SS i've test-ridden as a candidate for my first serious bike buy and after years of riding multi, I've fallen in love with the simplicity...not to mention the disk brakes and beefy look. My LBS has one for $500 (offered tax-free).

However, I'm not too sure about this whole SS idea. I commute in the suburbs where long, quiet, smooth streets rule the city and I've been having concerns about slight grades or downhill slopes where I'd have to either pedal really hard or not be able to reach maximum speed.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...
