Just got mine a couple of weeks ago and have been having a great time riding
it.
Started out on a BikeE RX, then a Lightning P-38. My wife started on the RX also and then a Burley
Django. She was still looking for better performance and comfort and ordered the Virginia based on
comments she read in this and other sites and because she didn't find any negative comments.
What caught my attention was her staying up with me for the most part on the Virginia, something she
hadn't been doing before. So naturally, I had to go and try the damn thing and after a few test
rides fell for it.
It climbs as well and in my view better and is perhaps a tad faster than the P-38 at least for me.
But the big attraction is just how comfortable it is. I should also add that handling is more stable
especially at speed on the downhills.
One thing to all you folks riding this bike. I have found the Lightning seat bag fits perfectly. I
don't have the seat back as far as it will go but it is nowhere near the rear tire and the bag holds
a good bit of stuff if you need that.
If only I had more time to ride but that pesky work thing keeps getting in the way.
