I have had the Cafe for 8 months (1200 miles) . Awesome bike... super fast... good looking....

VEB will custom made new attachments for my bike (longer ones). Not sure why the rack did not work properly on my small size Cafe. But they are fixing it, so I am happy about it. I do need the rack. I do not like to carry a back pack. This is my 4th day in a row commuting to work (6 miles each...

Helmet (giro) and sunglasses. I have the need for a left rear view mirror. Any suggestions?
