Thanks for the help. Just a question though. GI means what, and what is a "good" training ratio? My friend, the owner of a large bike store hooked me up with this ratio and said it would be nice. After riding it a few times I'm pretty used to the ratio. It's got a 15t in the back, vertical dropouts. If anything I'd need to get a 14t...I think that will fit a 700c wheel(to fix the tension problem).
