Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

if you must put up a utility bike, it had better have a basket up front.

Ah, tell me about it!!
I've been saying that for years. My theory is that some designers figure that mid and dark blues don't look good with all the black carbon, so it lost popularity.

Very nice. Hot since it's well balanced. Advice: Change the pedals to black and cages to plastic.

Love the Suntour and the particular qualities of the frame. Dislike the geometry of it. Seatpost slammed and headset is huge. I'm sorry but it's a mild not hot.
