I only rode about 8 miles on the local MUP while my wife was walking the dog, but it seems nice and solid. I'm hoping the weather holds up tomorrow so I can put some miles on it.[/QUOTE]

Looks great! May I ask how wide the tires that you've got on it there? I recently bought an '86 Trek elance and am kicking around the idea of converting it to 650b and a 9 speed mountain drive train.
