So I've owned her for about 12 hours. During that time I've learned a little about fixed gearing (thanks to Frank and Google) and dropped her off at the local bikery for a CLA The guy working, Roy, looked at me funny when I said "CLA". He seemed to think it needed to be called a tune-up. Whatever. It costs less than a CLA. We talked a few minutes about single speed flip-flop hubs and both decided that I should get used to riding again before going down that road. Then he told me she'd be ready in about a week, "maybe less, since we're not that busy yet." Yet? Holy cow! I'm gonna have to get used to the pace, as I often get testy when Jiffy Lube takes more than 30 minutes. Sheldon Brown's site is going to take a few days to digest, at least. I haven't even ridden her yet and I'm drooling over parts and modifications and fixed-gear conversions and good God, the enablement! Christie is not pleased. -- Scott Loveless www.twosixteen.com Bob W wrote: > Sorry, Frank.
