Just test rode one. What a great bike! Pretty too.

@ FreeRange? Any comparisons come to mind?

Yup. Hard to compare--it rides just like a Rivendell (unsurprising).
It was kind of like a Rambouillet but felt a bit snappier. Not so
laid back/stable as the Hillborne.

I have one in the middling 54cm size that will be available for test rides on Thursday when we have our Just Ride book-signin' and meat fiesta. Unless someone buys it first. I agree with the above description of the handling.

For what it's worth for those wondering about sizing I'm about 5'9",
84cm PBH and the 54 fit nicely. The 56 Hillborne fits too but I would
need a stem about 1-2cm shorter.
