Thanks, that's something to keep an eye open for. I doubt it's going to see any hard use at this point. More of a parade bike.

That's a great story. It's got to be hard going down really steep hills and getting thru rock gardens. Maybe they just do it cyclocross style and run in the slow parts. Have you got any pix?
