Oh... I'd like to add that if your spokes aren't tight, as in a good wheel build... and I mean like _really_ TIGHT!!! your bike is gonna feel like a soggy, lifeless noodle frame, ya better believe it!

(Kinda like those Moteni team frames mentioned last month that were piled up in a field in a mound like soggy pasta because they were raced on hard and had no life left in them... and gee I wish I knew were that field was so I could score one of those cool orange jobbies! I'd be stylin' now doncha know!)
