It will be worth it.
I omitted the fact that part of my lust stems from needing some squish on the front. I have been riding the Rasta full rigid and miss a suspension fork.
I think the seat thing really bothered me the most. I was planning on transferring the seat to whatever bike came next. After this recent episode, i think I have decided to order 3 of the same seat. 2 to show and 1 to go.
My last bike transaction included trading my Giant Rainier in on the Rasta. Glad I did. I have not missed that bike a bit. But, I still have feeling for the Rasta, so in the spirit of polygamy, I will probably mount the Schwalbe Big Apples on the Rasta and use him as a hip looking buzz around town bike. According to the signatures of many here, it is ok to have two, right?
