I love this bike; it fits me and rides much better than my DeBernardi. Basically, it's slick as snot. Toe overlap is pretty nasty, but hopefully the shorter arms of the Grand Mighty and a smaller size toe clip will help. With the price of bikes like the DeBernardi's and Bareknuckle's going up, the Keirin frames seem more affordable, especially considering their high quality.
