Bob, I won't tell nobody about all the non-Schwinn Italian bikes you cut up for a homemade bike rack.

I appreciate the gesture; I'll have to take you up on it. I just took a look, and I think that RD is holding up better than I thought--I guess my crimping it back together might hold up. So maybe one less part. That reminds me: this past weekend, I did that hill going into Newbury, on 103. It's a long one! Funny, didn't seem so long on the way back... at 47mph!
