So far I am liking it a lot, but haven't had a lot of time in the saddle yet. It is fast compared to my rockhopper that I was using for the road. I am still fiddling with the positioning a bit and may lower the handlebars and see if I prefer that.

Never heard of Vegemite either. I live part time back in my old hometown in South Georgia. They grow a lot of peanuts and make peanut butter. I probably have eaten more peanut butter sandwiches than any other kind of sandwich.

pffft I wish. Takes me about 10-12 minutes to ride to my old office building, whereas it will likely take me nearly 90 minutes to ride to my current office location.

Got me a new Brooks Flyer, new Sylvan Touring Pedals and a silver bell. I lowered & leveled my rack...been meaning to do that for a while. I swapped out the black springs on the saddle with the B67 thats on my Sawyer. I believe it looks a little better now & rides great!

Ahhh yes, the unexpecting American. We get a kick out of feeding Vegemite to you guys. The trick is that you must grow up on Vegemite from when you are a little kid. Trying it later in life rarely works. Try a LITTLE on a cracker with cheese, and it's bliss. I'm lucky they import it to Japan, so I eat it every morning.

Oh lordy lordy lordy.
Gets them everytime.
Serious though
, my pommie mate here told me that if you can't get Vegemite, mix some soy sauce with a little miso paste and thicken it with corn flower and you have a fairly decent Vegemite substitute. I have not tried this though so it could taste crap...BTW, more hybrid bike pics please...On with the show.

[QUOTE=giantcfr1;14328639]That is perfect. Everything works well together on your bike.
Thanks! I like your bikes esp. that green Gary Fisher you built up.
I'm gonna have to try that vegemite out....my wife claims she has eaten it before.
