Oh, Ace, that sounds beautiful. and I wanted to congratulate you on quitting smoking. That is just fantastic. As soon as you have photos of your machine,
share them with us.
And yes, there will be people who will sneer at you because you aren't whatever THEY think should be riding that bike, but TS, it's your money and your bike.
And like I have, you'll learn.
I am getting more and more confident on my Bianchi, standing for fun,
going faster, making turns that i couldn't before. THere is a definite learning curve, and as long as you keep riding you will keep improving.
