I woulda paid double for one my size

I managed 6 km on it for a lark though. Handles pretty good and fits in your back pocket!

The original M095 Shifters exploded at about 5.5 km so I needed to switch to XT thumbs. The wheelset on it now is actually off my 1991 Brodie. The front hub on the original wheelset got a tad noisy on my first ride. I like the Campy rims better but these will do in a pinch.
