Are you set up with bar ends or STI? Also, can't tell from the website but I would want to put a light rack on it. I'm never buying a bike again that can't carry a sandwich and an apple. Seems like the AMOS, if it happens, will have the rack attachments.
The people I ride with tend to grind these rides out at 16-18 mph so I need to be able to keep up with them. Not planning on fendering this bike as I live in Utah, this will be a summer bike, and the only reason to ride in the rain here is if it was sunny when I left. Plus, I will have the loaded touring bike for grimy weather. Thanks for your post.
