Today I went for my first ride on my new bike, about 37 miles, and I have to say that I absolutely love it. It is a real joy to ride. Very comfortable although I am going to tweek some of the adjustments as I go. I did notice that it is the most "flexy" frame that I have which makes it a very different ride in a very plush way. I was a bit worried about whether or not I would like the moustache bars but so far I do like them allot. If I have 1 negative(ish) thing to say, it does not have to do with the bike but the Longboard fenders. The jury is still out on those. I love the way they look, but with the flexable nature of the bike that I noted earlier, when I stand up and pedal hard the front fender rubs ever so slightly. Not enough to slow me down but enough to annoy the heck out of me. They seem to be adjusted as high as they go so if I cant adjust that out the fenders will come off and go on my wifes bike. If the weather looks like I need fenders I will just ride my Surly, which doesnt bother me one bit. I still love that bike too. Another problem I have with the fenders is that they seem to be in the way of the mounting of my Tubus rack and I would rather have the rack than the fenders. I am sure with some effort I could make them work together but I may go the easier route. Like I said, jury is still out on that. Here is a link to some pictures from todays ride. Excuse the dates on the pictures. It seems that every time I turn my camera off I have to reset the date or it defaults back to 2007. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65433756@N02/sets/72157627251530964/
