I sort of wish I could get excited for you. But, I can't. You've simply started another thread about purchasing a bike you don't intend to keep and instead plan to flip. Thereby, depriving someone out there of a potential good deal on a bike they would love and the seller of fair reasonable value for the bike or the good karma of extending the good deal to a appreciative buyer.

I'd love to read a thread about any long rides you've been on. Have you ever completed the longer ride goals you were aiming for when you first started posting? Did you ever join a club in the area? Or, start racing?
