Like the look of the bike.  If the 60 takes wider tires, it could be a fine alternative to the Hillborne.  Two other things - thought the blue and orange was in honor of the Denver Broncos.  And the camera Grant used has been my favorite for over a year now.  There are times I think it takes bette

I like orange and blue, even if it reminds me of Clemson U. It also reminds me of the Denver Broncos, which makes me think of Peyton Manning, and that makes me happy, so I guess the colour combo makes me happy. That said, I'm pleased to discover that I didn't experience buyer's remorse after se
