I've ridden this bike a couple times to work and I've tooled around errand'ing on it. It's fun. I really feel the bumps and holes and such. And it doesn't "roll out" at all. But it makes up for that stuff in its nimbleness, toughness, and wheelie'ness.

Tough: When I was a kid, all I rode was BMX, so I had no idea there was a concept of breaking bikes or wheels. Which has been an expensive and ongoing lesson as I've "grown" into 26" and 700c wheels. I can hop off every driveway dip I pass with this bike and fear no breakage of anything.
Wheelie-potential: If I can't wheelie/manual this bike by the end of the summer. It'll never happen. Ever.

It is pretty cute.
This is backlash for me making you take all of the dork off of your road bike, isn't it.
Thanks Elissa.
Yes Glen, order has been restored to the delicate balance of dorkitude across my bike collection. And not a second too soon. Are those 20" fenders still in your shop?
You need more weight on the back if you want wheelie action.
Like four of those cute organ grinder monkeys. In a milkcrate.
