Wow thanks!

The trade will probably not work as I am in upstate NY currently. I have a few follow up questions however...

The new back wheel only has a plastic piece, no new cassette with gears (if I understand correctly what a cassette is.) The cassette I have has six gears on it right now.... should i replace that cassette (I would probably stick with six, no need for anything else)If I replace it does that mean I also need new front chainrings? I assume if they are not true I should get new ones anyways. I also assume that if I stick with six in the back the rear dropout spacing won't be an issue (Btw I purchased this wheel.)

The last thing is, can you please elaborate on the brake have sufficient enough drop? I don't know exactly what you mean by that. The brakes have always been a problem I assumed just because right now I have suicide brake levers in place and out of laziness choose to use them... I plan on updating the brake levers with aero and interrupter brake levers once I decide on a new handlebar (and if you have a suggestion for a modestly priced one I would also appreciate that.)

I can't imagine this bike being any better to ride, but I am sure it will be once I update.

Thanks again!
