Nice, Frank. Can i ask how tall you are, and your saddle height? Hard part of jumping on these is not knowing if it'll fit and, especially, not knowing whether or not a future version might fit even better. Looks to me like youre making this one work despite being on the tall side though.

I have one of these as well, and my biggest complaint is the way it hooks on the frame to carry it around, i'm always worried it will scratch the frame so i only use it on my beater (which does not have a basket so it works, but this bike does not need such a fancy lock). locking can be a bit
