For the pats on the back, and for sharing my excitement.

Julbee, that's great you are going to take a course in bike maintenance. I've asked each of the 5 LBS in my town if they offer one, and NONE do. I'll have to look into the local com college. Bikes just can't be THAT complicated, and I think once someone shows you how do do something, it's so much easier than trying to figure it out from a book or instructions on line.

I like to tinker with stuff, and someday, I think it'd be fun to build a bike. Or upgrade my centurion.
