Hopefully I won't be a Clyde for long. LOL. Before I started a desk job...and got older and balder...I was about 165 pounds. I'd be happy to get to 200 and then 180.

The Trek 7000 shows 700x35C tires...are these not good for my purposes? Are they 700c's or 35c's?

I place software and electronic engineers into jobs. I'm not one myself. All my handiness comes from doing things around the house, plumbing, electrical, flooring...in the process of installing an in ground pool myself right now!
