Best of luck, I hope things look up for you.
i considered this/am considering it. but a few things have me perplexed....
1. shipping can't be cheap on a thing like that....
2. with something like this, what are the odds that i'm going to buy something, and break it a week later ? (that is my worst fear)
3. well, no. 2 pretty much sums up all the little details....
also, i have yet to test ride, which i plan to do next weekend at a store called bikeway....

depends....if it's a $900 bike, i'm fairly sure i want disc brakes on it when i buy it. but if it's a $600, $700 bike, i could probably add them later....
