Geesh.

PS-- Stick with the black tires. I tried gumwalls on my red Primato, didn't look right. GP4000's are pretty darn nice tubies, can't go wrong.

PPS--I have a 13-26 Record 8 speed cassette BNIB, just give me your address.

PPPS--I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference between 175 and 172.5, or even 170 cranks. If you don't like them, I have some 170 Athena 8 speed, but they require a wider BB. You can use 10 speed cranks, you would just need a spacer kit available at Branford. 10 speed cranks may be easier to find.

PPPPS--Your bike doesn't suck
