Bikes: Too Many

The pedals are pure crap, the kind you replace immediately. Pure carp.
Finally, a very personal gripe: the frame is aluminum (steel fork, though). I don't like that - but as I said, that's very specific to me. Most people don't care.

Depending on the price, this may be a very cool little bike.

EDIT: just read djeucalyptus' post and saw the price, $550. That's too much, with those components. For me, since I'm not into alu frames, it's just crazy-too-much. I still like the gerometry though.

I was anticipating comments from others, I really don't mind the sloping TT. I actually like the chaingaurd, I've been looking for one to add to my commuter but Wald just stopped making them. I was planning on fabricating something similar to what is on there. To each thier own but the price seems a little high.
