I didn't get out on the longer, mixed surface ride that I'd hoped for, but I have commuted on the XOXO a few times this week, and put in some bonus miles over some rough urban roads and a bit of offroad stuff.

Too bad that little $1000 protovelo Appaloosa frame on the Riv web-specials page disappeared. I think that would have built out for maybe $2200. My advice to your friend would be to get some fast, light, slicks, perhaps one of those new Compass tires, and then lurk patiently here for something

Am I misunderstanding something? It looks to me like you've got the fenders reversed: Front fender mounted on rear wheel, and vice versa. At least that's the way my 700c Honjos lay out; otherwise, the rear fender isn't long enough to install a fender-mount light. Granted, undoing all that work
