It gets interesting at the stop lights, but so far no crashes. the bike feels like an awsome touring frame, without all the bells and whistles,smooth and solid. I like the brake cable release on the levers.I can get the brakes tight and still be able to remove the cable from the canti brakes. I had some trouble setting up the rear fender. Every time I hit a bump the fender would rotate bachward and rattle against the frame. I moved the stays rotated foward and that should fix the problem. The 42-15 gears are great for Boston riding. My commuter bike was a '95 gary fisher mt tam with slicks and carbon judy fork. With the longer wheel base of the One Way, the bike stays on the ground better. Its a fun bike,definitly a keeper.
