Hi from one arcade owner to a comming arcade/console owner...
1. it doesnt feel heavy at all (even though its approx 12kg.)
2. its just awsome for all round riding(street, park and trials(but not as great as a 26" pure, especialy rolling stuf)) (but i do come from a bmx back ground). But for the type of riding you describe it should be spot on..
3. i find there is a lot of room when on the bike and im 191cm, running 35deg/70mm stem and 3" riser bars...
4. NOT having a hanger is perfect no more fiddeling with chain tensioner, the chain device on the arcade works flawless (Set and go, my wheel has stayed in the same position for ½ a year)
5. currently running 22/16 gearing feels good on the bike...
just my 2 cents..
