Im trying to fall out of love with the Brodie, and if it wasnt for the magnificent frame, and masculine blackness of it, Id be able to let go of my dear easily.

I hate the disk brakes, so Ill be glad to see that go. The gears are fussy, with 6-7 rubbing with the small ring (design, not setup flaw), and the rack slips a bit and blocks the rear brake caliper if you load a pannier with more than 20# worth of crap. Front forks are not spaced properly, so it can be a bitch to get wheel aligned when mounting. Hmmm, lots of niggly stuff. I just wish it didnt look so damn cool. Its the only one in the entire SE USA, afaik. Cant...be...the bitch....of ....exclusivity.
me want this:
