Thanks for the forum tip, I may try it over there, but I think the dating is about right on this one. Not today, I don't have the full serial # on me.

As to the ride quality-- it seems quite nice, but the weather there has been crap, and aside from a ride to work last Wednesday and a few tools around the block and local park, it hasn't had an extended ride. I'm hoping this Sunday is nice enough for a spin out to Ashland and back. But it is very promising.

I've a Brooks to put on it as well, or an Ideale, but the Turbo is beat and seems comfy, so I may keep it.
