It works. Thanks. Really nice picture.

I used to tow my daughters in a trailer. I kept waiting for them to get bored, but they never did.

Ride is smooth as butter and the position is very relaxing coming from bent up road and XC racing bikes.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I've been commuting on a big box Schwinn for the last to years

Not at all, make sure your chain is at the correct length. Could also be your crank's chainline not agreeing with the gear changes.

You can get this chain watcher: http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/184...in-Watcher.htm

It keeps the chain from dropping off the inner side of the crankset. Looks like this on the bike:

Not the most practical commuter (only takes 23's) but I love zipping around the city on this thing.
These were assembled in Canada with Ishiwata tubing. I've heard some bad things about Biopace, but it suits me just fine..

Fizzaly 04-18-10 01:02 AM

ive come to enjoy biopace it doesnt seem to tense up your thigh muscles as much and make it easier to walk around when you get to where your going

Sixty Fiver 04-18-10 02:28 AM

I love springtime because I can commute on this... :D

Fioris are nice bikes and there is nothing wrong with Biopace chain rings... the folks who criticize them don't understand the physics of what makes them work as they do and non round chain wheels are making a comeback.

I love my Biopace chainring. I built my Surly around it!

Just wanted to show you guys my new ride, I know it doesn't compare to what some of you have, but since my daily commute is only around 4 miles, I figure this would do the job?!

Living in Japan does present a few problems...one of them is finding the right size bike:(
Sure you have imports, but they tend to cost an arm and a leg!

I went to my LBS, rode on a few and this was the most comfortable for me and for around 330us$ I couldn't pass it up...and yes it is made in China:lol:

Anyway here are the pics...
