I got it fixed well enough to ride, but it was never right after that, and the wheel kept going out of true. I picked up my new rim today; I can hardly wait for the morning!

That is a very interesting commute style upright, yet flat bar bike. It reminds me of a hybrid with the handle bars, but they seem higher than most fitness hybrids...it seems like it has some of the style of a newer Dutch bike. Very cool. What kind of gears/components?

How does it sit. Upright?
Name of the Nishiki?
