Mine went through the salt slush and mud season of Vermont with
only a few flats. Between the bombed out roads and the miles needed to
get ANYWHERE in VT, I think thats a pretty good test as to a bikes
worthiness. I say, tell people all is good , just do it ! [/QUOTE]

um. . . .the number of flats you have are not a testament to bike quality. ..that only relates to tires and terrain. . ..
