Bikes: A bunch!

Thanks for all the posts, it's nice to see this bike had the same effect on others that it did on me. I hadn't even touched it but had already decided to buy it when I spotted it at a second-hand store.

K6: Good catch on the torque arm, the last person who had the wheel off didn't put it back on correctly. It now sits in its slot inside the left fork leg.

Regarding fit and stuff: The standover height is at 34 1/2 inches and the BB centerline is 12" off the ground.
Cranks measured out at 175mm. My Salsa Campeon is at 32 1/2 and 10 1/2 in comparison. I'm not sure on gearing but I will check it next time I have the rear wheel off (which by the way is a semi-long process)

As far as Aero bars go, I don't think I'll ever do it. Good idea but I can't see putting them on this bike. I just have to remember to not ride into 20 mph headwinds although I love the fenders and enclosed driveline. My feet would have been soaked on any of my other bikes.

It should be noted that my all time record commute time to work is 1 hour 5 minutes.
All time record home is 1 hour 2 minutes.

Both of these set about 1 year and 20 pounds ago. I'm about 270.
Juggler, where from in Michigan? Detroiter here.
