First things that come to mind: helmet jostled over my eyes, cut-off jean shorts, sore hands and chattering teeth. Also: Joe Murray is generally credited with the sloping top tube for the mtb, right? God bless him. /s |

He's still into the VooDoo thing as well as many others, including Dahon. JD |

Anyway, that ol' gleaming pearl-white Giant top tube is one of the most frightening things I can recollect. I have never respected/feared anything more in my life. It was always there, a presence, looming, waiting.... Picked up a Dahon Boardwalk 8 for my pops a couple years ago. Natch, the handling is squirrelly compared to what I'm accustomed to, but a smart package, esp for the money. And if my dad (who couldn't tell you which side of a hammer is up) is able to fold it down and snap it back together without so much as shearing off half a finger, Murray et al are doing a commendable job. BTW: hold onto that Trek. It might be worth $1300 some day: http://bikestoponline.com/itemdetails.cfm?id=1078 /s |
