Thanks for the advice. I have had the problem with the bike since I got it. It was a gift from my hubbie, kind of hard to say take it back. What a guy huh! I didn't think about the wheel set. Maybe I should try something different there. I don't know anyone who rides the Aegis but it sounds like everyone who writes seems to love them. I did check out the web site and wow they look great a bit over my budget. Any less expensive CF's you girls could tell me about? How about scandium? Anyone riding a scandium frame?
