It will be going all winter too. I'm thinking of building a trailer.

I just sold my townie, otherwise I'd post it.

I love the fact that all the bikes shown in this thread are tools. Tools, not jewels!

I've been reading this thread just waiting for my CETMA 5-rail to arrive. After about two months, it was delivered last Friday. I have nothing but great things to say about Lane and his products.

It wasn't too bad actually. It was a little flexy on turns but still very manageable. You have to keep an eye on everything though and it's a little nerve recking to go over a bump for fear of pinch flatting but I pumped my tires up to max before I went there. I had some semi steep hills to climb as well and expected I would have to walk it up but it wasn't bad at all and was able to ride it through. Just had to take things a bit slower than usual. I had to take the lane the full trip because I didn't want to get boxed in, but thankfully the drivers were a LOT more aware and were a bit more forgiving because of what I was carrying. The looks on drivers faces was pretty priceless
