pat i suggest you keep the df. ride once a month it will remind you why you ride a bent. i just went on short ride today (23) and felt as you did. i keep a record of how far i ride and average speed. it is on a calendar near my bathroom, so far i have ridden 2000 miles on my bent , my speed is getting better but i think it will a couple of years before i am where i was when i rode a df. i actualy want to ride before i "trained" big difference in attitude, i think. for me just wanting to ride is the key. i still have my mtb and ride it off rode . but if i can figure out how to ride a off road bent i will. :thumbup:
