No problems. I got to see a hi-rez pic of the Motobecane, and it seems
that the brakes are really decent if cheap Tektros. The hubs are pretty
nice Formulas. Frame welds look good. Only thing I don't like are the
shape of the handlebars. I like either a classic Maes bend or a moustache
bar. Cheap enough to replace, though.

The orange is far cooler than the blue, and no doubt faster.

I ride a Redline 925 as my do-everything ride. It's a great bang/buck
fixie. It comes with wider tires, fenders, and moustache bars, if that's
your thing. $500 list. It feels very nimble, but strong enough to jump
over curbs.

The Bianchi San Jose is a hundred more than mine, and super cool bike as
well. You can probably find one on sale as it's winter.
