Addiction XLV

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

actually I can do better than that. If my project works out, I will buy a new bike and post it right here in addiction for its debut.

Ahhhhh....then you need to identify a good builder with a solid rep ... I've been rolling my own for so long that I'm out of the loop. I remember Falcon Northwest being a particularly excellent system builder.
