Thanks John. As a sufferer of OCPD, I have to make sure my bikes look good. Hmmm...maybe we could put together an OCPD cure tour. Probably wouldn't do any good but man the bikes would look sharp!
BTW, since that picture was taken I've put 27 x 1 3/8 cross tires on it and I've been taking it offroad on 30-40 miles rides along the MUP here. It handles nicely on dirt and loose gravel and even the occasional bit of single track.
