    TinyExplosions has one, he will probably post.

    That price is OK, it's not much cheaper in the UK.

    Have one, ride it every day and love it... having said that, if I was looking for a bike now, I'd get the Charge Plug for the simple reason that it has bullhorns instead of drops, and would have saved me the cost of a set of handlebars and brakes (as I prefer bullhorns to drops), and also it's a bit cheaper :D

    For 599, if you're getting it in Cycleogical or any lbs I'd say go for it

    You buy one? Where you get/see one for 599? An 08 model?
    Was in cyclelogical looking for one. They had last years model for 599. Said this years would be 650, and no difference between the 07 and 08 except for colour?

    Hey Garlad - Didn't get yet, still trying to decide if I'd be up to single speed! Fitness or lack of that is! Think it was last years model alright tho.

    They look really nice and seem to be decently specced.. never ridden one but I'm always impressed by them in person.

    Might be heavy, but makes my road bike seem mighty light!

    heavy yes, but rock solid...
    which is appropriate considering the state of the roads.
