Re: We have a fantastic bike!

I'd love mine forever if I could just get comfortable on it!

Had MANY bikes. Never enjoyed any of them like I do this one... Except it just doesn't fit me or I don't fit it! :oops:

I'm working on a finding a new seat.. But, I have to agree. Awesome bike!

Airman, Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you'd chime in. Yes, my elbows still feel locked with the Wunderlich bars - on the dry fit anyway. Seemed like what they gained was lost in the extra width.. I was surprized. Could be an optical contusion.. :lol: :lol: Maybe I will try another dry fit and s...

Rec'd my Wunderlich Comfort Bars . Removed the old ones without disconnecting anything. Set em in place, put the caps back on- tried different angles. Didn't seem to help much. I didn't go any further. Removed them , put the original ones back on. I think I will try barbacks now. I "wonder"...

When I got it I couldn't help but notice that it has a bright red spring? Never saw a red spring before. All ...
