Would like some better components but this is $725 and thats about the top of where I want to be. I can always replace the components as I get more cash.

Been a long time

Well, the bicycle search continues. I would like to get a softride but dont have the cash, and it appears they dont make a road setup that will take a wide 35 tire.

Its looking like a Kona Jake is the bike I will be getting. But I can't find one to try out so I may have to order on blind hope. That does not make me to confident. So here I sit, just waiting.
