thanks gang. yeah man - i noticed - this bike came with sooo many warning stickers -on the brakes, on the brake levers, ont he frame, on the carbon fork, and im serious - a couple of other places. i duno y..... it's a bike not a transformer!@$
as for the kickstand, it's actually too long. my bike can rest on it but i think wind would easily knock it over. i gotta get another one, a shorter one. LMAO - i think it will slow me down.
