I got out for a bit saturday--only ten or so miles twiddling around on our local MUP and over to my favorite bike shop to show it off. It was 18 degrees so ten miles seemed sufficient!
Changed a couple of things--put a Dos Eno freewheel on for two speeds that don't require as much wheel movement which in turn allowed me to clean up the rear fender line a bit. (utilizing SKS quickreleases to allow wheel removal.) And I switched to a more conventional double crank (Sugino XD) and lost the chain guard but gained a bit bigger inner ring, which was a big help. Now I can cruise comfortably around 11-14mph whereas with the stock setup I was spinning out around 11mph which is just too low a gear for my local terrain... The bike is sooo comforatble--I really love it! And it's every bit as purty as my Orange Rambouillet in a bit more understated way...
