Looks rad! how´s the saddle? is it the same as the blb aero?

Thanks! I really like the saddle, so I have it on a couple of my bikes. I haven't seen the BLB Aero in person, but it looks identical from the pictures I've seen (with the exception of the carbon rails model).

Can you put a front brake on with the 28c tires?

I haven't tried it myself, but I think so. I'll try mounting one in the next few days for confirmation.

Thanks! I am really leaning toward the Messenger. How are you finding the weight of the steel frame? New wheelset help at all?

I've been really happy with it. It is a little heavier because of the steel tubing, but the ride quality more than makes up for it. I'll take it into the shop tomorrow for the front brake fitting, and I'll get you an exact weight on the complete bike.

The complete bike weighed in at 19lbs 14oz, and there was clearance for a front brake.
