    elk weighing in here...

    Jeepers...go off for a month and miss EVERYTHING!!!!

    Sandra, I wrote you about seatposts.

    My top tube is slanted ---and I like the way yours looks better BTW--for the reasons Knot said, and also because it allows you to use larger tires on a small frame.

    Mine is a 48". I am 5'3.5" and have kind of short legs. I couldn't stand over the 50 and the sales person at the co-op thought the 48 would be too small. 48" haunted me. Finally I went to another shop where I happened to catch the attention of one of their fitters who essentially gave me the parameters for a road bike that would fit...and doggone if the 48 wasn't perfect. I went back and bought it. I have not adjusted ANYTHING except the seat height.

    P.S. Don't you just LOVE those extra brake handles!!!!?????

    BROWN saddle --no question. I bough the brown Brooks tape to go on the handlebars, but haven't been brave enough to out it on yet...

    I need to take some photos...but I bought a bag...Acorn? from a guy on ebay...its the bigger one---black with brown leather---and it's beautiful.
    Only problem is that it uses genuine buckles instead of snaps...a bit of primitive technology I'm not fond of on bags or dog collars....

    I was looking for the thread where someon directed me to a seatpost besides the one wallbike has, or the Salsa....cheaper than both, I think Jensen carries it.. I needed a longer one.

    I actually may go riding today for the first time in months....

    Discipline is remembering what you want.
