Problem...I'm having trouble finding the polished hi-gloss model which will match better than the dull powder finish.

I'm not concerned with a few grams. What do you like and more importantly, which cages have you found to not be reliable.

Most riding will be on pavement but I also expect to do some dirt path and canal tow path riding so sturdy and dependable is needed.

Thank you.
Go "Merican...HECK YEA! All of my cages are Kings. I even have a couple of titanium ones...he was in town at an expo and offered them for the much more reasonable price of $30 each I've even seen a demonstration of making them. They are way better than the Performance ones and you are supporting a small American company.
