True true, I'm no professional. I found the problem pretty late last night and now I'm stuck at my desk until 5, but I do plan on bringing it into the shop tonight. I just figured that, in the interim, I would check here for some suggestions, kind of like a second opinion (that I got before the first opinion).

I will definitely get some photos posted tonight. Buying a new bike is not out of the question, I'm really open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks again.
