The bordeaux frame and cream tires go wonderfully together, and the light set-up is very cool. <br /><br />What do you mean though, that this bicycle is easier to get on and off of than the DL-1? You find the straight step through easier to dismount than the loop? Or is it something specific to the bikes?Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-52431736163575714652010-05-11T08:43:01.442-04:002010-05-11T08:43:01.442-04:00Amanda- The chain case I got comes with a detacha...Amanda- The chain case I got comes with a detachable "Pie Plate" that I think just snaps in- I haven't snapped it in even to test it. I might leave the herons open to the sun for the summer, and then put that piece in when the weather turns bad and the chain needs more enclosure.<br />Ed, The struts were almost perfect. I do think that I need to buckle down and flatten them a bit more so that I can drill a hole and drop the attachment to the axle 3/4", but it was just too much to face on an already late Sunday.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-87997593737360561222010-05-11T00:41:39.251-04:002010-05-11T00:41:39.251-04:00Can you please post us a tutorial how you opened u...Can you please post us a tutorial how you opened up the chaincase to show your heron chainrings?

I put it in as a temp because it was easily cut and malleable, but I like the color it's becoming.
