I really like this bike, here is a couple of pictures. I thought about upgrading to Tigira or 105 group, but it is the same price as a new bike. I will definitely keep this bike, it rides so nice. I traded a 80s Cannondale AL for this bike in 1998. I am going to try a carbon fiber seat post, Nashbar has them for $30. I want to see what the "Hoopla" is all about. Do you have a picture of your bike?
