My last post made me think. I came over to steel lugged Rivendells from riding a LItespeed Vortex ( the one Lance used, painted as an Eddie Merx, while riding for Motorola), and, while I still love and ride the Litespeed, I never felt the need to give it a name as I've done with Homer,

So, while everyone has a slightly different method, Scott, that may or may not work, you'd cover all of the bases if you turn the bike upside down and spray some oil all over the seat, rails, and seat post. Hey, you're a guy - you can fix anything with a little WD-40 and duct tape. Bill
