    Had one as a loaner today, but only for about 40 miles.

    Is it me, or does it have shortest bottom three gears in biking-history?
    [1] Even filtering past traffic at < 10mph I found I was in third all the
    time (on the Sprint = stalled, sometimes I never make it to third all the
    way to work). And isn't it a bit gutless, frankly?

    Was quite enjoying it eventually, very flicky in a way the Sprint isn't,
    but the engine-note would drive me up the wall, like riding a heavily-
    amplified gnat

    [1] The Sprint has the longest 1st I've ever encountered, I still declutch
    sometimes in second at low-speed as it feels like a stall is imminent...
