Thanks for that! Reinforces what @DanseMacabre posted.

Maybe post a pic or two please?

Now that I have some suggestions I've been grazing the 'net, learning much about what's out there in this realm. That I have two bikes that I could potentially use – even though the classic MB is the one I favor – gives me more flexibility. The MB doesn't look to be too 'wheelless' -capable, what with its traditional 5-sp freewheel. The Kona OTOH, though the heavier bike, may offer more utility if it stays 'married' to a DD trainer most of the time.

Keep 'em coming please!
