Glad you all liked the Mt Hood. I have a lugged Trek 830 that I may get back someday. It was a shame to lose it in the move, but I could only carry so much. I will probably be getting back my 88 C'dale M1000 sometime this fall. I missed it badly! The person I sold it to never rides it much anyway, and didn't change anything on it. It still has all the XT goodness, and black Nitto stem on it.,,,,BD
