Rodriguez bikes?

[Crankin]

There's always a way to spend more money.

I think we are leaning toward ordering by phone, discussing what we want from the stock bikes, flying to Seattle, having them do the final fitting/tweaking and then going on a vacation around the islands (we have a friend on San Juan Island). Then we would have them pack and ship the bikes back to us when we were done.
Thanks for the offer, Deb. You know that *I* will not be involved with the putting together/taking apart.

I assumed that, but you could wrap and unwrap the tubes, which takes almost as long as the mechanical part, and just requires a good level of paranoia about protecting your bikes in transit.

wow, now I want one too (maybe in my next life).
Good luck Crankin, maybe we can all see you when you come.

Well, it looks like this might be a combined summer vacation for 2011/graduation present to myself.

Of course, I would want to meet all of you in Seattle.

And yes, Deb, I could handle the unwrapping, etc. It does help that I married a mechanical genius, because I am severely challenged in this area.
