I once had a 20 lb black cat, and this looked to be half again as big. We raced up to see it better because we really could not tell from a distance it was a cat because of its size.

Yes, Terrierman! You have dibs on the "Atlantis" now. We were just talking on the ride about whether the cost of a new "old skool" bike was worth it. I mean, the actual vintage bikes ride so well I wonder what the benefits of buying new really are?

But I do have to say, whether it's the 26" tires or the newer components, or the design of the bike, it is a joy to ride. But Pupsocket's bike looked like a joy to ride, too!
