I was planning on checking into that today...thanks! It will be interesting to see what they would charge for this. Indeed, good points. I need a bike that I can take home this spring, and my Trek can't handle the mountains. I've certainly already considered the points that have been raised...thankfully my LBS guarantees the fit which is quite a comfort. We will see what happens in the next week
