new glow-y bike

new glow-y bike by skvidal.
bianchi castro valley I bought to use for daily rides to work rather than the xtracycle. As I like to explain the xtracycle is more like a truck. You don't always need a truck but when you do you're really glad you have it.

I'm not 100% behind this new bike, yet. I need to get the saddle worked out and this is the first bike I've had with drops so that will take some getting used to, I think. Still, it glows, it's light and it's fairly good to ride, thus far.

I got it at frank's cyclery in raleigh.

It's about 12 miles south east of downtown durham.

Frank's Cyclery is down by Briarcreek, correct? I test rode a milano there. As much as I like the internal hub in theory, it just doesn't feel right to me.

Yep, it's down by briarcreek.

You should try out the internal hub on my SO's breezer. I tried out the milano too and didn't like it at all in comparison to the breezer:

Spin Cycle in cary has some breezers there and they can get them on order rather quickly.
