Good suggestion! That's what I might end up doing. I was hoping to use this bike (not dike ) as my winter road bike (I don't ride my Gitane or Falcon in the rainy months); maybe I'll have to find another project bike to use as a winter roadie. Not exactly a bad thing: I love restoring bikes, and one can't have too many bikes in their stable, right?
