[165] Please bring the pictures on Saturday. Because at least I was riding on the track this season not taking photos. But, I think it was very 'convenient' that you have such a handy excuse when it comes to 'stopping' for a comrade. Chuckles. Where are we going on Saturday again? I have to tell you about the meeting at Northbrook. Sadly I didn't win Rider of the year.

Naz- you are absolutely right about the framesaver it works wonders. I put a good amount into any frame I buy. New, used whatever.

As far as tires I have always rocked a 28c in the front with a skinny in the back. Although some people might think this is goofy...I think it makes sense in the snow. Your traction needs to come from the front...that is where you are going...the back just provides power and when it is a skinny it cuts right down to the cement.
