You stole that from the Fat Cyclist! I thought that was pretty funny, though I wouldn't necessarily put down Specialized. The only reason I didn't want one is only because they are everywhere! I like having a bike that's "different" which is why I went for BLUE.

I still say if the geometry is REALLY close -- close enough to fix with a stem change, go for the LOOK. But, be really sure... Don't they have another model with the same geometry and a standard seatpost that you can test ride???
