Just bought an On-One Pickenflick. Did about 50kms in two days. My experiences riding a geared bike after 6 years of only fixed drivetrains are the following:
-Sh!t sh!t sh!t so much less control with a freewheel. I was terrified in the traffic during the first few kms
-A Ti fame (which was a really old dream of mine) with 44mm wide tires feels like rolling on clouds after the aluminium / road slick combo
-I havent really figured it out how to mout this thing properly.
-My knees are OK so far (!!!!!)
