I've never had that problem, but I guess my quads aren't as massive as yours are

I know drops aren't too popular on FGG, but I love em for comfort/number of positions/ducking out of the wind along the lakeshore.. they can pry my "aesthetically displeasing" uncut drops out of my cold dead hands.

On that note - please make sure I'm really dead.. because my hands have been cold out there lately. Maybe time to invest in a pair of lobster gloves?

Oh, and on Brooks -- the only reason I was looking used is that I wasn't ready to pay too much for new, having never really ridden on one for extended periods of time. Plus the B17 looks a bit wide for my taste.

EDIT: And one more thing.. is there anyone left that hasn't yet done track 1 / intro? I've wanted to do it at some point in the future...
