Clockwork: Loved the bike!! and what matters is YOu love the bike! even though I just bought new Trek road bike, I will Never get rid of my 1989 Trek - it would be too much like losing a very old, dear and trusted friend! Actually Doc will probably end up being my winter commute bike since he weighs just a tad more than the baby bike! As for Clockwork Orange: very nice bike and thanks for sharing the story/pixs! Now I can go boldly forth and claim "why yes, I've heard of Orange bikes - haven't you?"


Xray: Loved reading your bio - thanks for the morning humour! If it's any consolation, Katie probably went home and told her family she met a lady that had this really neat bike and could She get one? Anytime you need some hill-climbing: come visit me in New Mexico, we'll see if we can't find you some! Now get ye hence and find Katie and show her how hills are Really climbed!
