Thank you, Fuji and Nashbar added

Oh, I forgot one thing on my "demand list",
rim brakes!


But why? When I was a little fellow I had a bike, for a while, that
had no brakes at all. Just drag your feet to stop. Much lighter then
actual brake sets complete with cables.

(I will admit however that by the age of 12 I had learned how to
repair lever brakes and went back to using them (with appropriate
claims of superiority :-))
