    "Tire glue & air: (20.0g)"

    It is very nice. A bit too minimalistic for me, especially the pedals.

    I can't help but be intrigued by the thinking that goes into this - bringing
    a poet's sensibility to bike creation...

    Meh.. could probably have shaved a few extra ounces off by drilling
    some holes into the frame - after spending a few £K on CFD modelling
