It is a great specced bike but is just a bit too heavy for my style of riding...... However as you say a "neat bike" and the most important thing is that JD loves it......TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-80658826308700549592017-10-01T02:31:28.241+01:002017-10-01T02:31:28.241+01:00PS.

Like you say, for different uses :)<br />The touring rig reminds me of my own Touring Bicycles.<br />No matter what, a ride with a friend is worth its weight in gold.<br />You may just want to trade your bike for his, when it comes to 'getting the weight in gold', you know? :)<br />Have a Happy Day, Trevor!<br />Peace :)<br />GreenComotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272116464292908327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-62263160906625070872017-09-30T01:10:13.672+01:002017-09-30T01:10:13.672+01:00*Jason*
