Anything to break up the long stretches of New Jersey country side.

I know the 979 is a very pliable frame, but I'll error on the side of caution. I've got two 126mm rear wheels ready to go, a third that needs some work, and am looking at picking up parts for a fourth and/or fifth read wheel. So I will be set for quite some time for the Vitus and my older Peugeot Ventoux (PH501).

And truth be told, I'm a compete gear head and I'm itching to build up a newer 130mm bike.
