Steve,
My apologies. I should have provided a complete list of current components and will try to determine what I have!! With close to 60000km on this bike, I do wonder if I should be upgrading or just buying new?
As far as the your other suggestions and requests:
1. I was never into bar streamers even on my first bike, an early 1960s CCM single speed!!
2. Gretzky IS the greatest but I sort of lost interest in hockey when he was traded from Edmonton to LA in 1988 so cards are out.
3. I have yet to visit all the great and beautiful spots in Canada so will not be invading the US in the near future. However, I am looking forward to seeing your wonderful country one day by bicycle one day before the knees give out.
4. Most of the time I'm well mannered but give me a few brews and who knows? Although I have nothing against Labatts and Molsons, I tend to prefer the smaller breweries -- Okanagan Springs Pale Ale and Porter are two of my favourties.
5. Touques are only mandatory from August to June -- its usually pretty nice in July!!
6. Back bacon -- sorry, can't help you - I'm one of those rare Canadian Vegans!!
