Excellent, I hope you enjoy riding it. I think it’s a great commuter and I’m happily using it pretty much every work day.

Hey James, thanks for your review. It was instrumental in my decision to pick one up this week. Put a rack and fenders on right away; will wait to make a determination on things like stem and saddle. Ride on!

Omnifocus is a really well made app and if I was in an Apple only environment I’d probably have gone for that. Wunderlist looks amazing and I think it would actually do what I do with Nozbe! Might have to revisit – thanks for mentioning it.

That’s excellent to hear. Despite my annoyance at the less than neat result, I can’t fault them for keeping the street water off me. It has been really wet here in Galway this year and the roads are in a poorer state (yay, massive recession!) but I’m not getting muck or grit flying up at me.

I wouldn’t agree with that as I just see quick release as a security issue. I would also wonder if you would have an issue with the force generated by the disc brake and the ability of a quick release rod to withstand that force. But I can see how loading and unloading the bike would be a pain. Have you looked at a bike carrier for your car – might be more convenient in the long term?

A quick follow-up on our recent exchange: based on the advice of my LBS, I’ve chosen SKS Chromoplastics that I attached in exactly the same way you did. They’ve been doing pretty fine for the first few rainy days.

Well, I understand your criticism based on your needs, but the fact that the bike has no quick-release on any part (seat post or wheels) was actually positive from my point of view: I use my bike in an urban environment, and even though I try never to leave it unguarded for too long, it sometimes has to spend the day attached somewhere in the street. Having no quick release means I can be a little more confident the seat or front wheel won’t be missing when I come back at the end of the day.

I would expect a quick release on the front wheel on a bike at this price. For me this is a real problem as I have to transport my bike in the cargo compartment of my station wagon
