Great bike!
By Luke from Lower Hutt on 7 February 2010
I have just purchased one of these for comuting into Wellington from the Hutt for university and getting too and from work.
I fitted armadillo sport tyres with specialized airlock tubes to prevent any punctures which has so far worked amazingly well! I also put on some white shimano m520 SPD pedals and a Specialized BG indy saddle to protect the jewels. I am also running both front and rear brakes and currently have it set up with a fixed gear.
The first thing i noticed when riding the bike is how nice the cro-mo frame is to ride! Very smooth! It's definitely not the lightest bike around but is pretty good for the price point! The wheels are nice and strong and are still running true even after hitting a few pot holes.
The one thing i dont like too much is the track bars, i will probably swap these out for a normal roadie bar as they do stretch out a fair bit more. In saying this if i went for a Large (which i ride for all my other bikes) i would probably find the riding position great, so dont look just at the top tube measurement when buying. Go for the size you would go for on another bike.
Another thing i love about this bike is having the in built chain tensioners, which are really good in preventing the rear wheel slipping on the horizontal dropouts under pressure.
The gear on it is perfect for roaming around the streets and is not to bad if you are relatively fit on the hills, although when it gets really steep you really have to use some muscle! But this is all part of having a SS, it's awsome!
I cant say i have got any problems with this bike at all! i love the clean retro look! Especially with the old school removable cable guides! and the red ano makes for some nice touches.
I definitely recomended for someone that wants a simple bike to get around on or even commute!
