Mamoka, Glad things are better. Dude, I been telling you..... This bike freakin' ROCKS! Have fun with it. If you're married, condolences to the wife. ;) Mark

I'm a well documented leaner. In lieu of a leaning spot, I will lay it on its side (none drive side, of course) or flip it over so it rests on the seat back and handlebars. This is how I fix a flat, too. Mark

So far, every idea I've had for a summer cycling adventure has gotten shot out of the water. I'm still working on it, though. Mark

Thanks, Jim, I've enjoyed reading your reports, as well. I think I would enjoy riding with you and Maria. I've decided I need to take the next step now and start working on my climbing. I can climb pretty fast, but on long climbs, I run out of gas. I realie it's a fitness and endurance thing...

Will you be doing your own build, or having a bike shop assemble? Any preference for components, or are you going to order the Campy package to go with? I'm excited for you! This is a fun bike! Mark

One wheel, if you had to, could be packed in a standard suitcase with your other cycling stuff. Mark
