Well, the bike came by Fed Ex yesterday, about an hour after I got home from school. Hitched a ride to work from my brother. Unfortunately all my tools are at the new house, so I had to put put it together at work, so no pics of the bike right out of the box, Sorry. But I can say the bike was VERY well packed, barely a spec of the bike wasn't covered by foam AND cardboard. Assembly took about an hour in total, not bad considering the SKS Fenders were new to me. The rear Brake bosses could have been 3-4mm lower than they were, hard to keep the from rubbing the tires as it was in the 42/15 fixed gearing, 42/16 free gear was fine. I love the fork too, beautiful crown, beautiful paint, only thing is that the Drop outs had lawyer tabs (The kind that completely surround the QR bolt face.) and track nuts didn't fit down into the tabs. Seat is a little weird, used to the Brooks' on all my other bikes, will probably get a normal B-17 for her soon. The seat post is odd, the clamp is high polished Aluminum, and post itself is black powder coated Aluminum. I've only ridden it the 1.6 miles home, but it rides great, holds a line better than my conversion bike, and the wheels are nice and round too. Also interesting is the pump peg, seems the A** Holes at Raleigh want me to just keep spending money.

Edit, took the bike out to look for the owner of a little pomeranian that wandered in front of out house. Rode nice even if it was hot and sticky out, excellent low speed maneuverability.

Nice looking bike. I envy the cantilevers and fender clearance you have on there.

My fixie wears fenders in the wet season but I need to go from my favorite 700x32 tires down to a 700x28.

Enjoy the purchase.

First 1-Way I've seen. Looks nice. What's the spacing on the rear hub - is it 120mm or something else?

Enjoy it. Great ride.

That's really nice. I like the fender clearance although I share your point about the canti bosses being too high. Was the all-in pricing reasonable?

nice! in your other thread, i said i think the fork looks like crap. well, i guess the ones at my local shop are from last year, because its a completely different style. this model looks a lot better. nice pickup.

E26, not sure of the hub spacing, but knowing the dimension hubs it's probably 120.

BM, pricing was great, came out to a tad less than $285 before shipping, considering that MSRP is $680 I'd say it great.

JC, maybe you were looking at the rush hour, because this is a 2007 model, the first year. Well, that and the rush hours fork is… Words don't really describe it do they?

Thanks all. Will post up grade pics when I can.

Who did you buy it from?

ahhh, yeah, it is the rush hour. and i think words we are looking for to describe it are "fckin ugly".

Who did you buy it from?
