Bill, Thanks for the suggestion, I have $320 ear marked for other parts namely accessories for the wife's Betty, my Atlantis & AHH.
By all means I encourage you to take on the experiment as I'm sure a lot of folks would appreciate the data. The Irony to this thread is at the time I posed the question I only had the 650b AAH, it was doing duty as a fitness, off road and tour bike. Since, I built up my 56 cm 26" Atlantis (Ol' Willy) as my off road tour bike the question is not as urgent though still relevant. As an experiment I do plan on acquiring the new Soma Cazadero' in 650b, maybe put Homer back in service as a lightweight off road S240 rig? -Hugh Los Angeles, CA On Nov 12, 2014 7:30 AM, "Bill Lindsay" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hugh > > It's a $320 experiment, but it would be a really cool experiment.
