I hope it's frame size, not weight. A person who weighs 235 is not going to notice a pound difference in the weight of a bike frame! And people who have weighed X + 20 but now weigh X ought, in general, to consider that they might well weigh X + 20 again. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
