If that bike were made in Minnesota, it would have an eagle or a grizzley bear carved in it.

A new bike is no laughing matter. I for one am offended. If you say you have a new bike, then show us your new bike. Don't toy with our emotions.

That is all.

Whatdoya mean? That is me in the lead goin' down the hill!! So far the fire hasn't yet started from the brake, but I expect it to at any minute. I normally lose 5 lbs. of the 50 lb. bike from the brake fire!! Just get another peice of wood for the next trip!!
