Does anyone have an original equipment list for the Blade?
Slush, if you're around the Davenport area, we should go ride sometime. Maybe when the temperatures get a bit warmer.
I live in Bettendorf and ride a lot with the Quad City Bicycle Club. I bought a Motobecane and a Viscount from the man with the Spalding. It looked OK but I am to the rafters in bikes at this time.
