I also forgot to mention that the gearing on this definately seems to make it much more of a racing/sport bicycle. It's a 50/47 setup in the front and the 5 speed freewheel is a 14-18. Someone please let me know if my assumption is incorrect. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the balilla sidepulls have plenty of reach to accomodate 700c wheels.
