I don't know.

In my experience, the last 5 pounds are much tougher than the first 40.

Not that I doubt you can do it, especially with the new motivation.


So how are the turner and the ellsworths going to get along? You might have to keep them in different rooms in the house

Actually, it was the first 50 pounds.

I'm not sure how well the two bikes are going to get along. I'm going to keep them on opposite sides of the room and place my IF somewhere close to help keep peace when I'm not home. What I find interesting is in the real world people with Ellsworth owners and the homer's get along fine. Their only seems to be a problem on the internet.

Thanks. As for the Truth, it isn't going anywhere. It is going to lose a few lightweight parts though.

Siu, you know anytime you're in the neighborhood you're welcome to ride any of my bikes. I'm pretty generous with my toys.

I was talking to an old timer the other day and I asked him the secret to a long marriage. (he was celebrating his 40th) He said, "If you're coming home early, call first! What you don't know, can't hurt you!".
