Thanks for taking the time to answer, Gossamer. Like Scott said, it's always useful to compare setups and hear what works for others - ESPECIALLY when the bike is your size (that's a 58, right?), or the questions are ones you've wrestled with. I wish I had the money to buy this. I'm kind of kicking myself for buying a 59 Clem on pre-sale, that I knew was too big... just before these Joes were announced. Couldn't swing both, but this one would have been the better choice for what I was after. Your experience and explanation is very helpful and confirms that it would have been the right choice. C'est la vie. Hope the sale goes well for you.
