you just did ! (and thats fine with me).

Glad we made you feel better. To be honest I think the Italia is a
very underrated bike. Most folks go for the Curly's and ignore the straight
stayed Hetchins and they are still excellent bikes. Hetchins is one a few
bikes on my want list.
I'm not that far from you (Frisco) so might just have to take a look
at it at one of these organized rides or Texas BF get togethers (hmm, maybe
a weekend between DFW and Austin. .)
