OMG what a mistake I meant STAYS not luggs

well I can't wait to figure that out for myself.

they do? who used/developed them??
Holiday sorry you lost out, I honestly never expected to win it.
Cyclotoine I would never 'fixie' this beauty I am also having a hard time imagining any type of brifter on this. I feel it has to be DT or barends.
I am really considering a IGH with moustache bars, but I think the Bianchi I just put all the Super Rec is coming apart and getting Galli and Universal bit instead.
I do however fear I may not get to ride this for some time. way back in september I thought I had just simply badly twisted or sprained my knee but it never seemed to get better. so last thursday after a few sleepless nights I went to see the doctor, who gave a diagnosis of a torm Medial Meniscus.
. I am off for a MRI monday but it sounds like maybe aI won't be riding anytime soon. as I understand it recovery is around 4 to 8 weeks then therapy.
BUMMER
so to paraphrase Billy Joel
If I can't ride with a broken knee, atleast I can polish the fenders. LOL
