Really like it Jimi911... Really great retro/modern look

How does it ride???

Didn't see this way back in April ... Too excited for spring I guess :)

This is a great riding bike. I had thoughts of upgrading a part or two, but it's so perfect for me I'll leave it as is. It evens doubles as my commuter some days so I can get an extra trail ride in. I love it :)
