Now it on to the big adventure - WHAT BIKE !!!! Going down to Hollywood Pro Bicycle shop later in the week. They build your bike to order, have Surly, Salsa frames in the shop..... we will see.
I still like the REI Safari, but lets see the price difference and quality difference when I talk to Hollywood pro Bicycles. This is exciting !!!
