OK, enough of the diatribe already.
         If nothing else this discussion has only muddied the waters for Sarah. And yes, if we are all going to take a vote, I vote for the Monkey Lad of SB.
         He originally pointed out the Bicyclist article a few years back, and for those of you that did not read the article, you should.
         Now if I am not also mistaken this discussion is about 1962 bicycle tubing. If Sarah took off all of the parts on her Raleigh w/hi-tens tubing and then put them on that same Raleigh but built with Reynolds of that same era, Joe Zamboni and crew would be rolling over in their grave before they could ever tell the difference in "the ride" between the two frames......Not to mention that it would be mighty hard to get a bicycle into a casket as well.
         Sarah, I suggest you offer these nay-sayers a ride on your bike for $1000 a pop and let them pursue their "ride" machinations over a pint at their local watering hole. Cheers and best o Luck, Dave-I used to ride an "english-racer"-Anderson Cut Bank MT
