that would be me, yes. i play street hockey in the summer so i was picking up a cheap stick for my girlfriend and i before they sell out. a guy on the manhattan bridge commented on my "sleek and stripped down style." i don't know what that was all about. my current set up is the bicycle equivalent of a minivan.
