Thanks to Gino, I now tell 'em "...it's an aught-six" on the Quickbeam, or "aught-eight" on the Hilsen. You can literally watch the gears resetting on their brains while they ponder the variables in that statement. Of course, always said with a smile... ;^) On Sunday's loop, while wading through swoopy carbon frames, passing through the Nicasio store for some fluids, someone said my bike (QB) looked ready for L'Eroica. I think he gets extra points for context. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/4739898371 - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes The Gallery needs your photos!
