Hi all, its been an interesting topic, while I can see both ends of the arguement very well, and see some very valid points on both fronts, I was just glad that I woke up this morning, that way I can spend another day on this beautifull planet to ride another bicycle wether it be multigeared or fixed, enjoy the fresh air and the nice warm hug with Sue after tea tonight.............wayne davidson Invercargill NZ..............
