Thanks for the note, Bill. I haven't been able to ride as much this year as I would normally get to. I'm a private practice mental health therapist and I own my own business. Business is very, very good. . . but that's not good for my riding. I'm hoping to do better in the second half of the year. I have so enjoyed your bike, though. It is just the sweetest of rides. I have it set up pretty comfy except for the handlebars, really, but it is so nimble that I just know that it would be a hoot on the single track. I love all of my bikes, but this bike is a special piece of history that is truly fun to ride. I hope you are well and riding. Keep in touch. david On Jun 16, 2011, at 10:28 PM, Bill M. wrote:
