So, I am interested in this rather tall bike. I've been reading a little and it seems like a Ok bike, but is it work $140? It looks clean and nice, except for that one dent. I still feel rather ignorant, so is there anything I should know about these bikes? I read a post in the archives that said it has tubular rims =/
I emailed the guy about some stuff like TT length, stem length, handle bar width, and rim size. I'm not sure I want it if it has 27" wheels, I don't want to bother setting it up with 700c wheels and then getting new calipers. Tubular rims might also be an issue.
What do you think of this thing?
