The brakes are just awesome, love em. You always have the same brakin
force, not like your fekking rim brake, get a bit of dirt on it, an
you have a few tenths of a second with little braking power. :)

How much? Hmm, well, it is official sale on so why not.
Original 3199
I paid 2300. Almost 29% off.
The have this sale on for the rest of the week. 20-30 % off
on specialized 2005 models. Fitzroy cycles it is.
I even got the impression that they can order home stuff, that
the importer has in stock, and also get the rebate. So you have
got some choiche too. Not bad at all.
I was thinking of going with FS but decided against the extra
complexity. Like it simple and light.
Now, who wants to go for a good spin? :

Total weight? Hmm, not sure, it is pretty light though :) Where can
weigh it? Have no bathroom scales at home. :

You nailed it, I have a vet around the corner and my housmates cat ha
just had knee reconstruction made there. They had a scale that would d
the business. Hmm, I wonder what they say when I come in with bike an
wants to weigh it? I'll risk it, I'll let you know how it goes. :
