i just happened to ride in my hrimnir again the other day, and am pleased to report that it still passes this test on stjarni. (my fingers were cold and i forgot my gloves :) the hrimnir *is* too big for me in the leg (i'm short, and apparently icelandic folks tend to be leggy). but it doesn't matter so much until i try to ride in half-seat. of course we just had a water jump installed, so i just had to try it...! cheers --vicka
