    Yeah I have three other options readily available if the one I ordered doesnt come in on monday, If I did the math right, I will end up with a 64.5 HA angle with the Big fat pig reducer headset I ordered, the Orbit reducer will give me about a 65 even, wont know for sure untill I get it on there anf measure it complete


    Wen I ordered teh bike up from transition, I told them I wanted the orange one, They asked me...." are you looking at it on the Internet, I said yes, he warned me, its alot brighter in person. They were not lieing. I love how bright it is.


    Yeah at first it does, the linkl there is crazy burly though, its one solid peice. At least I know I wont break it.




    Oh By the way, she is sitting right at 42.2 lbs!!!!!
