Thanks, its a bit on the heavy side, but I can haul anything on it. I tried pacing a guy on a rroad bike today. He was doing about 18 or 19 into the wind. With no load whatsoever. After a few blocks I had to say to myself, "Frank, his bike is lighter than yours, more aerodynamic, has narrower, higher pressure tires, and he doesn't have milk crates strapped to his front and rear racks (he didn't have racks) with various things in them." So I dropped back down to 15.
