I really like the Tempo so far, its going to get fenders and rack and pull commuter duty until spring, then it will probably get a full tear down and rebuild this spring. People look down on Tenax it seems, but this bike seems lighter then similarly equipped 531 bikes I've been able to ride. I want a touring bke badly, but I prefer lugged and steel so I'm still trying to decide what I want to do on the Cannondale. Maybe I can find someone who would like to make a trade or something. I'm not really into flipping bikes but I obviously couldn't leave this there so it would be cool to trade it for something more along the lines of what I'm looking for.
