No, that is creepy since I haven't posted a picture of her here, or anywhere for that matter

But you are correct that she is far too beautiful to let her go on a risky ride. That is why I stripped a good part from another bike to fix up hers.
Anyways, I had the chance to get off work early and stopped by the LBS. They had some wedges but the longest bolt was about 1/2" shorter than the original. I took them anyway, the price was right, "naa just take it as long as you don't bring it back", ( I probably need to drop off a 6-pack this weekend.) I'll see if it works shortly as soon as my son finishes up his homework here...
