Last ride was a (legit street trash find) Reminton 54 that was just that bit too small/tight/feet hitting front wheel. 55 seemed too close to 54 so yeah I kinda blew it and went straight to 58...live and learn how to measure yourself for a ride eh. So, long story getting longer I'm after a swap for the Big Block and haviing drooled over some Leader stylings for a while I'm currently tossing up between a 55 Heritage and a 56 Renovatio. I have some nice stuff to go with whatever I get, Mavic Ellipse, White Industries, Paul etc and this being Japan I need to hang brakes on there too to avoid das law as well as simply want them having had my share of major ambulance ride/rehab. Other than cash, anything duh-yes-of-course-I-forgot I should know about diffs between the 2? I am leaning toward the Reno I got to say, a perdy perdy bike I think and I'm guessing able to take a fair beating as well.
Gracias.
