Like a kid the day after Christmas I got up early to check and mke sure it was still here.

My 17 year old daughter came in and did a great acting job of trying to pick it up. "Heavy!"she said as she laughed at me.

Bud Bent: What bike are you waiting to be delivered?

This won't be finished until Friday. The headset fork, and cutting the fork, as well as installing the bottom bracket, are over my head so I'm getting some professional help (for the bike, wiseguys.)

I'm looking for a bait shop with a fish scale to weigh my existing bike and the compare this one. The bathroom scales are digital and only show .2 pound increments. Not that it matters. Everyone knows that new bikes are lighter and faster....
