Alright, thanks, Mr. The. I'll get that done sometime soon.

And by the way, I have another catch. As some of you know, I was looking for new brakes. Well, I got a pair of beautiful Gran-Compes, but alas, the arms were not long enough. So, I swapped them for a pair of not as nice Dia-Compe 610s, because when I took apart the front brake in order to remove the rusted pin, I discovered that I had 610s (not 750s as I had previously thought). But, to make matters worse, I didn't originally have a matched pair of brakes on my bike, so I had to go back down today to swap the back brake for a 750. Phew! I got 'em on today, and they stop beautifully. I'll ride her to school tomorrow, and I can really give 'em a run for the money.
