I found 2 bikes im in love with
this one's from Kona - Paddy Wagon it's a SS road/urban bike w/ flip-flop hubs
 $649 at the Path. One of the guys at the path swapped out the drop bars for a riser and flipped his stem so it's look is similar to the sanchez very cool as I'm not too crazy about the drop bars then i saw this swobo - Sanchez sooo nice w/ flip-flop as well but no brakes. so i'd have to pay to get brakes added cuz i dont like the fix idea. but it's soo sexy w/ the galvanized finish  599 + brakes at the Path Now i need to sell my old vintage road bike!!!!! any takers???

Ethan, I think my current road bike clears. But I know my old 80's road bike was ridiculous. I guess it's more a psyhological issue as you're hardly turing the wheel that much on a roadie unless maybe track standing at a light. But I know I didn't like it.

I say go for the Kona, I used my paddy wagon as a commuter, it rides killer, and is practically bullet proof for the price. Fun to cruise on the river bed too. Not as fun as the dirt though.my 2 cents.

I'm a FUN-GI!

Dood...that's not love. That's lust. Those are sexy bikes, but you know they'll just leave you when a hotter rider comes around.

PS, buying a bike with no brakes from the factory is a little too "hey, look at me, I'm cool!" for me. Besides, I think the Kona looks sharper.

I like the looks of the Kona best. I would give fixed a try (but with brakes). It's a blast.
