Whatever. It's fucking light and tires are slim - 0.25. I rode it today - pure pleasure.
Fun is I was unable to figure out what speed of a regular bike can be compared to a
single speed bike - no shop had the answer.
So, had to try it before ordering, its a pure 7th speed - I mean 3 on the left bar and 7 on the right.
