Hey, how much of your bike is stock? Did it come with a front brake? Pedals?

Everything is stock right now except the pedals, handlebars/tape and saddle. It came with the option of two brakes, and drops, and flat pedals. The flat pedals were strap-able. haha!

Just wanted to say that these bikes are a super deal. I set them up all the time. Everybody really seems to love them because they come with a freewheel and a front and rear brake already attached but can be flipped to a fix on a heartbeat. And at $450 it can't be beat.

You shop at Whole Foods!

That's makes you beautiful, smart, and healthy.

....plus you're built like a supermodel, rock tattoos, and ride fixed?

Gentlemen, what you have before you is the template for the perfect woman.

Take notes.

Looking forward to that beer with you...

I'm not built like a supermodel, I'm just tall and thin. Not a skeleton!

Okay, you've just been knocked down to "built like a model" status, lol.

Thanks for the Life section of the paper...I didn't know Elmo was black!

From: hello, brooklyn!

i just picked one of these up 2 or 3 weeks ago. great around town commuter bike for the price. swapped out the bars for a set of straight bars, have to replace the saddle & a few other things, but so far, i'm digging it. gonna ride it around a bit more before messing around with the risers.

That's awesome! Someone else with an Uno! I just bought one yesterday, and considering I'm coming from a Giant Yukon and just doing commuting, this bike it so much better! It might be a just a little lower geared for me, but I do dislike hills...

I love the handle bars (the hardest thing I'll have to get used to) and the green tape- they match my Crumpler bag. I'm thinking about adding some paint stripes to the frame, cuz any color will go with that gun metal grey.

Please, if you've had any major problems with it since September, I'd like to know

Just a little FYI to the OP that was thinking about a Miche post...measure the diameter of the seat post...if memory serves me correctly it's an odd ball 29.2 or some goofy thing...Miches come in 27.2 and the RARE 28.6. You may be SOL.
