Ya know you guys answered that for me pretty well, even the funny stuff was in a round-a- bout way pretty informative. At least I now know enough to "think", and ask a half-way intelligent question. I've mentioned this on this forum before that I lost 118lbs, but last yr when I first started riding I was 318lbs, and I rode a Trek Navigator, after I dropped 48lbs I bought a Schwinn Le Tour Sport, it's a nice bike, but it weighs 22lbs, but now that Im riding it at 190lbs it seems like a F-14. Next yr I'd like to upgrade to a nice, lighter bike, that will be more responsive, and it would be nice if I could be down to 170lbs by the time I upgrade my bike next yr, wow then I'll think Im going the speed of light. Anyway thanks for all the good info, it was informative, and FUN.
