Thanks everybody... I'm still here, reading and when I settle on my first big bike purchase, (ya know something without a banana seat and painted in a sunshine theme.. that was my favorite)... hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll make a decision, I'll check back in. I check Craigslist everyday, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing and I am one to be easily fleeced and Craigslist bikeland looks like a fleecers playground.

I actually have checked out the supersized bikes site... I think it's a great idea and resource, but you also pay for the reinforced everything, as you should-- I'm hoping that I'm not that deep into the woods, and there is something in regular inventories that will work for me-- I've actually been on the plus side of 300 and have lost 60+ lbs, from my top weight and supersizedbikes would have been my only solution a few years back... really, just cut out all soda and juices and it just fell off, that was five years ago... so now I'm ready to complete the task -- I'm going to see what there is around here, what the LBS has to say -- and if I can't be helped there, then I'll have to go with another strategy...


Thanks... I'm watching and reading everyday...

Ciao for now...
