    Yay I'm with YOU honey!! We have so many giant hills around here...I have major hill gears on my road bike, a triple front, and like you, a mtn. derailleur in the back to handle all those gears. My DH told me that those derailleurs USED to be called simply "touring derailleurs" in the old days...made for touring and very hilly long distance country riding. Then mountain biking became de rigeur and suddenly they started calling them "mtn derailleurs". So there!

    Chain ring tattoos?....TOTALLY SEXY! When I occasionally get one, I NEVER wash it off in the shower!

    Visor? Heck, aside from keeping the rain off my face it can help keep the SKIN CANCER off my face!!!

    Fred rules!!!

    Lisa, I've found that my chain ring tattoos last for a week. Ivory Soap won't get it off!

    I use Ivory since my skin remains sensitive despite the abuse I took during my early membership on this forum
