I'm going to have those installed on the road bike if I start doing longer miles. The young guys at the LBS don't get that at ALL!
No hijack at all, us busted-up-knee gals need a place to share our issues. :D

I'm not sure about these fears about knee replacement and no cycling? I have a friend who has a knee replacement and she races.
My hand surgeon told me my trigger thumb would never bend again without surgery. I started my own rehab, supplements and today it bends!
I think that if all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.
Pax, I'm so happy for you! Bikes give us so much joy!
Any bike that puts a smile on your face is a great bike. I am so happy to hear you knee issues are not really issues on the bike. Enjoy your new ride when it comes in!!!
Looking forward to seeing an update post with a pic :)

How I love a good story and even better, a happy ending. :)
Great pics Pax, the bike looks well cool. ;)
It's reading posts like this that can have such a positive and encouraging effect on others.
I'm going about this as sensibly as possible, my commute is only a couple of miles but even so I'm home now and icing my bum knee.
It was so freeing to be back on a bike, that effortless weave around cars and students came back quickly. I could see the sights, smell the air, feel the wind; I so love riding a bike!!
