Joe, It's a great looking and great bike. I'm surprised how much I like the black fenders--very understated. One of the first bikes I tested was James's MUSA Atlantis and just LOVED it. It was the bike to convince me to buy a Rivendell.
Enjoy for years! And, should you ever want to get rid of it, years down the way, this is my size. :) I hope though that you'll retire with the bike.
