Group, I wrote Monkeylad off list (we are pretty good friends and have ridden together on the Rose Bowl old bike rides etc.) but thought I should respond on list too.
I really didn't mean to come across that strong on "experts" but this list really is a pretty gentlemanly (and gentlewomanly) forum and "the quiet 660" shouldn't feel too intimidated to post a question or comment since we all have the love of bikes in common.
Group, think of posting as sharing... share the love ::::sigh::::
