It's a Merida S-Presso i8-D. It has everything I wanted in a commuter (Alfine 8 speed hub gears, disc brakes, alloy frame, fenders) and yes, it has a kick stand. I have added the rack I had on the Iron Horse. I rode 60kms over the weekend getting to know the bike and it's great. It's fast, quiet and very smooth. There are a couple of things I still need to do - find a neater solution for the lights for one, and I miss the bar ends and clipless pedals.

Weight distribution. Looks where your hands are relative to the front hub (vertically) when braking. Assuming you have average length arms, that means you can't get your weight back very far. Below is a drop bar bike taken from similar camera angle (from page 5 of thread). Drop bar bikes are also not great at braking, but you can see your position is even further forward than this.Vivifyer wrote:because i have brakes?
