The sophisticated bicycle has attracted fans in Europe and the U.S., but repairs under warranty have bled the company of money.

    I guess it also depends on your environment. For me even my entire city is super hilly. A fixie and rim brakes sound like hell for that, unless you have literal Hercules legs.

    Servicing hydraulic brakes isn’t actually as bad as it might seem at first glance, but of course there’s a little more to it than a simple cable pull.

      Yeah, I’ve watched some YouTube videos (shoutout to Syd Fixes Bikes!) and it seems like bleeding isn’t overly difficult if you know what you’re doing. I still worry about on-the-road maintenance, though.
