It's supposed to rain here tomorrow, I'm going to try and start the disassembly and cleaning then. I'll post back with updates when I start getting things done.

Geekrunner- yes I'm a bit of a wrench, its been a LONG time since I've done much wrenching on bicycles though. Most of my current wrenching goes into my YZ450F.

I can't wait to get out and really try this bike out. I'm hoping it makes a good substitute for running. I'd much rather go for a 60 min ride on two wheels than go for a 60 min run to get/stay in shape.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I've already learned a lot and feel very welcomed here on bikerforums.net
