@tom5 why don't you give one a try... its easy to be a critic but they are designed with purpose to be a fantastic riding bike- that's why we guarantee it.
@ellsworthbikes: Thank you for your answer. It is a quite easy thing. If you spend so much money for a bike, it should at least look great, sleek, esthetic AND work super fine. For me, Ellsworth could never full fill the first part of my list.
