Thanks Geek, I have to agree people who own these are lucky - it is a great little bike.

As for me though, I plan to sell it in the Spring, after I clean it and overhaul the bearings/cables. (It's too small for me, plus, I already have a larger Marin Pine Mountain equipped just as you describe -along with an untold number of road bikes ).

-If I was to keep it though, I would have entertained making it into an urban commuter. It has an excellent frame for that, and the braze-ons for racks, fenders, etc.
