Hey Ryan, At the risk of getting dangerously OT for the RBW list, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the SWB vs LWB. I've owned two LWBs, but I'm currently Jones-less.
I enjoyed the LWB, but for my type of riding (either local road riding, or throw the bike in the car and drive to a mountain bike trail), the mixed mode capability of the LWB was kind of wasted on me.
