Are you comfortable? If you can hold 18 mph for 20 miles, you must be. The bike looks very nice, so if you are comfortable, and if your 18 isn't like my 12, why change?
Patrick Moore, who superglues his cockpits in place once perfectly adjusted, and who could hold 18 for 20 a year or so ago on his drop bar'd fixie gofast but can't do so right now (the last 21 mile flat out 'n' back on June 22 averaged 17.02 clock running clock running clock running without killing himself).

Where is there a place for you to be? No place.* * "Nothing outside you can give you any place," he said. "You needn't to look at the sky because it's not going to open up and show no place behind it. You needn't to search for any hole in the ground to look through into somewhere else. You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got. If there was any Fall, look there, if there was any Redemption, look there, and if you expect any Judgment, look there, because they all three will have to be in your time and your body and where in your time and your body can they be?* * "Where in your time and your body has Jesus redeemed you?" he cried. "Show me where because I don't see the place. If there was a place where Jesus had redeemed you that would be the place for you to be, but which of you can find it?” -- *Flannery O'Connor,* Wise Blood * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
