Hhhhuuummmm... you gals used some terms that made my head spin... as I am not too "technical" when it comes to components on these bikes.

Technotart... thanks for offering up his help! Unfortunately, I am taking the bike up to the shop tonight... to upgrade the computer. But... maybe another time... before August?

Yea, I figured I would have to get a more expensive bike... as I got better and needed better gearing.
