Well, all's well that end's well. I was tempted by that one myself, but, aside from the fact that all but five of my bikes are still in the self-storage from last July's move, I thought I would feel a bit silly riding a "Kathy Simonetti" monogramed frame. I agree about the virtues of our fearless leader Dale, but considering the mass of a Gran Tourismo, you could pelt an offender to death with just one.
