thanks for the comments - this green color is amazing. i was excited to see how it would look with the cream & natural colors. i agree & think it looks cool. it rides pretty amazing. very burly but also lively. not terribly heavy. i rode up some steep SF grades with it and it did just fine. i've never owned such an upright bike.
