Justin, Thank you! The elevation of the place where I rode around was around 1100 meters, so cherry blossoms were still in bloom, whereas peach blossoms were yet to bloom.
Dwain, When I bought my Moulton in 1999 the stem came with frame/fork without an additional charge. I believe you have to pay extra money now to get this stem. As for tires, I doubt if the ride quality changes in better way by going to skinnier tires. I personally would go fatter if possible. Rich, Thank you, I also like how non-aero levers look, but I mainly chose them for functional reasons (easiness of bar swaps, easiness of Rinko, etc.) Jay, When I ordered this frame, there were blue and yellow (gold?) ones. It was a tough decision!
