AW, no date that I could see. She's off at my local LBS getting the once over. $35 to overhaul the IGH is a steal. I think the owner and techs are starting to like me because I bring them six packs as tips
On the coasters, I'll be more then happy to just send you one of two. I have something like 4 microbrew houses within easy walking distance in the bridge district. I can start a collection and slip them in the mail if you PM me your address.

Awesome! I'm truly a novice so this makes me feel a little better. I was unsure as she was being relisted over and over. I decided to pick her up after doing some reading here. I will say I like how light she is. Loading my other bikes into the rack is akin to crossfit training.

That's what the DH says but ya know, he's been wrong before . The color looks really purple but it's more of ruddy aubergine with gold shimmer. I find the decals totally take away from the effect. I'll know more by next weekend. Do you have a favorite? I'll be out picking up simichrome after the race today.
