G'day Steven,
SM>I had the same reaction when I bought my (non-suspended) Trek Multi-track
SM>a few years ago.  At that time, front suspension was fairly common on
SM>mountain bikes and rear suspension was just starting but no road bikes had
SM>anything like it.  Now the manufacturers are starting to build front
SM>suspension on some road bikes.  I started dreaming when I read Bianchi's
Yea, I haven't seen any bike with this suspension on the road out here.
But that doesn't mean they aren't around. As they are making an appearance
even at K-Mart and other Dept. Stores. So somebody is buying them.....
SM>1996 catalogue and saw their Paris-Roubaix model:  titanium frame with
SM>front and rear suspension.  It listed for 750,000 yen or about $Aus8,300
SM>($US6,500).  A friend of mine said "Sure, it's great but I won't ride
SM>something that looks like a piece of aircraft undercarriage."  He's right
SM>- it is not all that beautiful but I can still dream about it.
That's right, I like to keep things as simple as possible. The more bells
and whistels, the more can go wrong....hehehe. Nevertheless, it's nice
to dream a bit, after all deeds evolve from dreams...
SM>I can't wait for next year when I might buy something new.
There you are, Steve...keep on dreaming....:)
SM>Tailwinds to you,
Why thank you, and the same to you,
(6:730/40
Hey Steve, please tell me more about your Origin line. Are you biking
in Japan?
Greetings from sunny Redland...Bill
