Gotta head to REI tomorrow about that seat post though...that I do have a problem with.
I'm actually amazed that I have not gotten a flat. I take it on cobble stones by the river, dirt paths, streets, but mostly bike paths. I have a spare tube ready to go when it happens though. So far so good with the Kentfield. Since I bought my Kentfield I started getting into cycling and commuting. I'm having a great time. The only problem I've had with my bike is the front derailer screw on my bike is a little fragile. It stripped very easily so be careful if you have to tighten it. It was easily fixed with a larger screw.
