there is nothing exciting about this bike whatsoever
I agree in the main part and I am glad to hear that reaction in light of it being an all day, everyday bike. Not appearing to be ex-ci-ting is a good thing. The ride however is as "exciting" as any other bike i have ridden and much, much more....in fact, its a dream :)
Odd wheels... different tires, valve caps and hubs.
Grips on EC90 bars? They have grips built in.
wheels are the same (other than brake wear) as are the hubs. The grips have been removed (only as i don't like soyos) and valve caps now match...tyres are set for longer wear on the rear in a soma and nicer handling of the refuse upfront, well In theory anyway. Only just got a pair of the Soma's to try so I'm not sold on their handling in the wet. That Pic was taken in a hurry in between bars turning up, with grips, and taking the bike for its maiden voyage, wasn't in my mind it'd make it here.
Depends who is riding it.
I stuck my missus on it, then my dog (all i had to hand) but the bike still weighs the same, light ;)
^Hah, like buses.....
