David, Recent chain suck problem solved. I had 3 - 4 cases in the last couple months, but in preparation for (possibly) selling, I took the middle ring off and inspected it carefully. Noticing what looked like shark teeth - (funny how hard that is to detect while mounted on the crank!) - I replaced the ring, but had not ridden it since. Today, I took it for a good spin and Viola! Seems OK. The big ring that came with the bike is a 48T, so I think I was favoring the middle ring more than I would if it were a 46T.
By the way, I had an inquiry from someone who did not want the saddle, fenders or either of the two racks. I priced the at Ben's Cycles' prices and divided by half and came to a sales price of $2753.50. Given that I would not have to ship the fenders, I'd round it off to *$2725.00* without those components. I hope all is well in Redlands and your well is full!
