Hello,

Thank you for the kind words!

My Univega is still sitting in my garage.
Neet to go to a local shop to put it together.

I was speaking to Avocet about it and they told me to contact Jobst Brandt.
Hope I spelled his name correctly.
He wrote some books on wheels.
I really wanted to get something lighter and mre durable but he said do to my wheel size Etc. that it would not be worth it.
Told me not to upgrade anything because anything current would most likely not fit an older bike.
I should have been more clear with him.
I am really not interested in anything current in regards to parts.
That woulkd take all the fun out of it.
Was inquiring about using older parts.

But at the end of his reply he did state that even my old Univega was probably better that most of what out ther now in regards to the fram Etc.
Just as I thought.

So for now,
I will just have to be at the mercy of my local bike shop.

Your road bike looks very nice!

Where is Felt from?
Never heard of it.
