Just out of idle curiosity I checked this thread. Not being one to really argue the bad or good qualities of any bike hey if you ride thats great ride the snot out of whatever you have and either fix it or throw it in the dump and get a new bike. I just looked at the first and last posts and this thread has been going for over THREE YEARS what a waste of band width or however you measure it.
