I can't dispute that. My first time, I had to do more than stop and take a rest, I had to collapse. I was running a fever, coughing hard, and working out doors in the low 40s. Not recommended, by any means! And make sure you have metric fasteners on hand. I ran out, had to go shopping, and spent a couple of very frustrating hours discovering how few large hardware stores in our area carry metric fasteners. About the only good part of that was, it kept me out of the cold. Patience, taking your time, not rushing, absolutely. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
