Thanks Jeff. I am so glad it got there safely. The Trek bike store near me is top notch. Bike flights made it very easy to ship. Enjoy it very much!!! I have a lot of good memories with that bicycle. It should have a light as well. (that is what the tape on the handlebar was for.) PM if it did not ship with the light.
