I have to say, I really like the look of that front suspension downtube over my full suspension. I like the fenders and rack on the back- makes it look more like a utility bike and not a toy. I could put those seatpost mount fenders on mine I suppose, but I don't like the way they look. So I've got mud splattered up the back of my coat because I took it out for a ride today during lunch. It was supposed to get up to 50 today, but it was only around 35. I had my heart set on riding, though, so I went ahead. The snow is cleared off the roads, they're just wet and dirty with the salt stuff they use. The bike hasn't been out of the back of my car for ages, and I can just unfold it and go. It was cold, but felt good!
