    Listen to Trek. Trek is wise.

    Yep. Trek420 was right. I need to get a Bike Friday
    One of the gals at my workshop has her Friday with her, all the way from Canada, and rode it up from downtown to the campus this morning (quite a climb!). After today's program she let me take a little spin on it. Wheeeee! Straight up a little hill, even though her crank is kinda wonky on the left side (needs some repairs, long story she says, which she'll maybe tell me later). So now I guess I have to start saving for a Friday, the better to ride with TE ladies when I travel here and there.

    Or a standard road bike with S&S couplers...

    Maybe even your current bike (if it's steel or Ti) could be retrofit with couplers.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Hmmmm. There's an idea. My "old" bike (just 7 years, but older than my new one, obviously) is steel, plain round tubing. But I wonder if anyplace here in town would do a rebuild like that. I might have to ship it as is to CA and get it fitted with couplers there. Could work, though. Worth looking into.
