Good luck Michael. I was almost unable to walk due to SI pain (due to arthritis) two years ago. A couple months of PT led to weekly and still ongoing sessions with a trainer. The SI problem is now a thing of the past, but the arthritis in my neck is not. I've had a Hillborne for about a month now, and the Riv-ability to get the handlebars up high has made my riding pain free for the first time in a while. Hope your experience is as good.

My favorite is my Rambouillet, but the one I end up putting the most miles on is the Ebisu All Purpose. It's better for bad roads and hauling stuff which is what I do most days. BTW, my cycling season, which began quite late after foot surgery seems to be ending early with crippling back pain. As WC Fields said, "Oh my sacroiliac, quick run to the golf course and get me a doctor!" Got a referral for PT today but I'm afraid it may be awhile before I'm able to ride again. We were supposed to spend last weekend cycling in the Eastern Townships of southern Quebeck but ended up touring in our new 2010 Prius instead. Too bad, because it looked like great riding roads and paths. Michael On Sep 2, 5:16 pm, Esteban <[email protected]> wrote: > I covet an Ebisu.
