Hey,

Thanks you guys! Especially for the info about city based cycling. We are looking into the Critical Mass rides as well.
As regards the bike refurbishment, after looking the thing over, I think it really won't need that much. New brakes, a new saddle, maybe a new pedal system. Besides needing the frame repainted and a general overhaul and relubing of the moving parts, it should be OK. I put nice Shimano and SunTour parts on it in the early eighties.

Happy riding and More Soon,

Holly
