I think you should stick with those nice old brakes and gears - it's classic stuff. If you want a new bike, steal someone else's. > Considering my girth, > adding a few inches of padding to the seat might be > necessary.

I expected to have to go through a breaking-in period, but it was comfortable straight out of the box. I don't have much personal padding in that area though, so the saddle has to accommodate my sit bones quite directly. The leather saddle adapts quickly to the shape of your anatomy. > > Enjoy your rides, and wear a helmet! > > > > Stan > > > I guess I ought to get one of those. Thanks, Stan. > No! You don't need one. Cycling is not a dangerous activity. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
