I am waiting on my bike to arrive, but am having some reservations about the "semi-auto" shifter situation. I have seen in youtube videos, and read on here that the transmission is "jerky" and that the heel shifter gets in the way.
I'm nervous about buying a bike(for well above MSRP with fees) that I have never even seen, let alone ridden...
Part of me feels like I might need to just get a Monkey. I really prefer the look and design of this bike over the monkey, but thinking maybe that is a better option for my use. Going to commute occasionally on neighborhood streets to work, and mostly taking it camping to hit some dirt.
On the other hand, I will be riding this to the neighborhood pool in the summer, possibly in sandals, so the heel shifter may come in handy then.
What are you guy's thoughts?
