Thank you noglider. I'm do Publications layout and web design/IT work at our State High School Activities Association. I'm just an all-around geek I guess and get into my hobbies way too much, haha. I try to do the best work I can and have been proud of what I've learned. I still feel like I'm pretty slow though in terms of turnaround time.
Yes, the Takara had very nice Ukai aluminum rims. I wish it would have been my size. I would have kept it. Really nice and smooth riding bike.
