| Doesn't look very smart to me. I commute year round in all weather: pouring weather, snow. I need fenders. Look at the frame: it has no receptacles for the screws for installing them. For $1250, you don't even get lights, nor reflectors in the wheel spokes: basic safety features. Also no suspension in the frame. Thin tires. For something pitched for commuting, this is designed an awful lot like a racing bike, but not optimized for that use, either. For commuting you generally want 1.5" to 1.75" road slicks. They require less pressure to achieve low rolling resistance (you will be grateful when you don't have to jam 115 p.s.i of air using an emergency hand pump), provide more comfort and protect the wheel against damage from surface irregularities better. In commuting you have potholes, stones and curbs to contend with, as well as junk that falls out of trucks. Some of it you don't see very well at night. I would probably trash that frame in about a year. http://www.roadbikereview.com/reviews/why-you-should-be-ridi... This is a bike to separate yuppie fools from their money. Not to mention investors. "LED's to guide you on your commute". WTF? You can get voice directions via headphones from a navigator. Approaching right turn. Ding!" |
