I might use it for longer rides so I'm thinking of removing the rear rack but that seems like a shame seeing as how it's original to the bike. On the other hand I'm not so sure I want the extra weight on longer rides. But I can definitely see some nice aluminum fenders on it in the near future.

Very nice ride. Makes me smile when I go out on it.

The bell is a bit pricey, but it has a really audible and nice ring.
