I am very interested in bicycles, have been a rider since age 3. Currently own a 24 year old Bianci racer and a Cannondale racing bike that is less than a year old. Will email you fotos soon.<BR/> I have written a book, it's called 'The Old Maid Gets Married.' I'm wondering if you and Lorna would like to read it. Let me know, I can forward it to you on the internet. Let me know where you would like me to send it if you're interested.<BR/> More soon, best love to you and your family.

My legs are long gone.<BR/><BR/>The Midwest is not all a billiard table. There are steep hills, but of course they're generally short. Usually you can just get up on the pedals and pump, and get to the top of the hill before you're completely gassed, ya know, with slobber running down your chin and snot from your nose. Ain't it fun?Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-13407423444247211432008-05-01T08:26:00.000-07:002008-05-01T08:26:00.000-07:00I stand corrected.And one upped!

In case I get old. I takes about 15 minutes to convert the whole thing, though I've only done it once. I had the parts and just thought I'd try it.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-48700367903287110342008-05-01T06:36:00.000-07:002008-05-01T06:36:00.000-07:00Brother Dick,Panaracer Pasela 700 X 35's.

That is, your bikes are elegant and smart. But, those are not Big Tires. 28mm at most? That just looks big cuz they're crammed in that racy frame. Big doesn't start until 35mm, brother.reverend dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090415465883988497noreply@blogger.com
