    That is one big *** trunk! LOL!

    Which rack is that? We got the BF folding rack and while it's heavy, it's pretty sturdy.

    Did you put the nametag on your bike or did BF? Ours just came in a bag and we don't know where to put them. ;-) I guess they didn't know which bike was which. hahaha.

    Aren't those fenders a bear to put on?! Not fun with shipping.

    Love the Brook's!

    I'm not sure what it is about the rack I'm not sure of, so maybe its just me being weird. I think it was that I wanted the folding rack and didn't get it. They didn't mess up, I did. But, I don't want to pay the difference for a folding rack - I'm cash poor right now (for obvious reasons!). I also kinda like the look of the bike better without the rack.

    My nameplate came already on, but I bet you are right - they didn't want to mount on the wrong bike for your order.

    I had planned to ride tonight but it is nearly 100 degrees and we are still in a heat warning. UGH. And I'm going away for the weekend. May still try if the heat drops a little tonight, but may be having to wait until Sunday or Monday.

    I did it! I finished the post, sat for about 2 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore. I rode 3.6 miles, on a couple of city roads, over fairly smooth railroad tracks, then over very rough railroad tracks, and ended with the last .75 miles or so on a highway. This bike is amazing, excellent, wonderful. Had the fun and somewhat upright feel (reminding me of my Trek Pure - pure fun) and yet I could go much faster with much less work. It was 100 degrees out and I wasn't pushing it yet I still went 12.25 mi/hr including stopping at one intersection. Heck, even had less stops than would normally on this route - like the Bike God was smiling. And, considering it has been a good 6 weeks since I've ridden a bike AT ALL, I felt pretty good.

    Me too! It was so different than my first ride on the road bike I had, where I spent most of the time terrified. I had fun but was testing skills at the same time. My Trek Pure was all fun but so SLOW. This was a perfect combination.
