"Sizing Chart" pop up states ETT of 53.5cm for the 49cm frame. Which is correct? Do the frame and fork have braze-ons/eyelets for fenders or racks? (On the fork there appear to be eyelets that are likely for fenders; on the rear I can't quite make out whether there are fender or rack mounts.)

My choice of bike has to be assembled locally, according to the description. Doesn't this conflict with the philosophy of Realcyclist of supplying a bike ready to go? Who supervises that the 'local' bike shop is competent?

Steve question_234333 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:19:48 GMT This bike is similar to the Swobo Baxter, which is a great bike. http://www.realcyclist.com/spot-brand-acme-bike-belt-drive-sop0011?CMP_ID=QRSS_233536#question_233536 Spot Brand Acme Bike - Belt-Drive This bike is similar to the Swobo Baxter, which is a great bike. The belt drive and 11-speed Alfine are nice upgrades. It looks like it has the exact same fork though. If it is, be prepared for some tricky front fender mounting. The hole is threaded (unlike most forks), and the fork has so much vertical clearance that there is very little room to attach the fender mounting tab. I had to mount mine on the front of the fork, instead of on the back where it belongs. question_233536 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:28:36 GMT do you have this bike on 56? do you have any hybrids with front http://www.realcyclist.com/rocky-mountain-metro-30-hybrid-bike?CMP_ID=QRSS_179351#question_179351 Rocky Mountain Metro 30 Hybrid Bike do you have this bike on 56? do you have any hybrids with front shocks? question_179351 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:21:49 GMT I love this bike on paper but I am not sure if it's the bike http://www.realcyclist.com/rocky-mountain-metro-30-hybrid-bike-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_178170#question_178170 Rocky Mountain Metro 30 Hybrid Bike - Women's I love this bike on paper but I am not sure if it's the bike for me.

This looks like a lot of bicycle http://www.realcyclist.com/rocky-mountain-metropolis-hybrid-bike?CMP_ID=QRSS_132683#question_132683 Rocky Mountain Metropolis Hybrid Bike Write your question here... This looks like a lot of bicycle for the money. I am considering replacing my 1985 Trek 850. It is a nice bike, so I am used to nice but looking for a bicycle designed to be a commuter. The Metropolis is close. The 2 items that are critical to me, that the Metropolis lacks, are dynohub lighting system and the recent belt drive system. Both of these would be expensive, or imposible, to add on later. Lack of stick on stuff, like fenders and rack, I like because there are functunality and style issues. Also where is the Metropolis's frame built and where is the bike assembled? I am in no rush to replace the Trek so I am waiting for something a little closer to my ideal commute ride. question_132683 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:54:56 GMT I'm 6'3" with a 32 or 33" inseam.
