Notes:

This is a new bike. I waited 5 1/2 weeks for it to be delivered. I opted for the Red because I already have a black bike. I've ridden ~ 50 miles on it and I really enjoy it. I've ridden is for as long as 25 miles at a time and it is a ton of fun and very comfortable. In time I will be removing the rear break and removing the stock brakes and going with a small pull brake by Paul.

Looks great. I am currently awaiting delivery on mine. I bought the frame alone and plan on building up around it.

I am going to go with a slightly unconventional scheme, but I see one piece of what I plan on doing with every Capo I look at.

I dunno whereabouts you live but I did notice that you swapped out from the stock cog, any reason for going with a lower gear ratio? How do you like the surly over the stock?

The 20 that you see on the bike was what they had in the shop.

This bike comes stock with a freewheel. I insisted they give me a fixed because that was what I bought the bike for. I've since upgraded the cog to an EAI superstar 18T.

What fun. I've made some other mods and will be revising my photo soon.

I've put 1000 miles on this bike this summer and I've got to say, this bike is the best investment in my training that I've ever made! Love it. I'm riding 40-50 mile clips on this bike........ I've a fixed junkie!
