Ron, the Jamis Satellite sings to my heart in serious ways. I'll be honest, I'm not entirely a steel purist (open-mind due entirely to engineering education I say!) because the Ventura Sport is very attractive. I'm no dedicated racer (yet) but the appeal of aluminum when you expect to go fast and go hard the whole time...is pretty serious.
No less, thanks for the welcome! Don't feel too bad about my WM excursions--I've gotten pretty used to taking things apart, and I know now to grease bearings & adjust breaks before spending a week in the saddle of a cheap ride!!
Hopefully, this is the genuine beginning of my car light/care free lifestyle (no typo)
