So then he say's to hisself HEY! How about 7 or 8 in the back? Then I learn all about the (scary music please) Atom Helicomatic.

(Think, think, think...)

New wheel set? Go with new hubs, freewheel, cassette in 700s? Start with something like this maybe?

If any of ya'll might have 'been there done that' I'd sure like to hear what you learned, good/bad/otherwise.

Thanks! JT
