Konnichiwa, Steven!
SM> BP> Yea, I haven't seen any bike with this suspension on the road out
SM> BP> here. But that doesn't mean they aren't around. As they are making
SM>There aren't many...yet.  The first one I read about was a Cannondale
SM>model called Silk Road about 1-1.5 years ago.  It only had front
SM>suspension, about 15mm of travel.
On some of the roads out here suspension on bikes might be a good thing,
but not too many are riding bikes on them. I was greatly surprised, when
on our last trip out west, we met three girls, that had just crossed one
of the remotest areas of OZ with their bikes.
SM> SM> great but I won't ride something that looks like a piece of
SM> SM> aircraft undercarriage."  He's right - it is not all that
SM> SM> beautiful but I can still dream about it.
SM>He also told me that the Paris-Roubaix race is famed for having really bad
SM>roads so dual suspension makes the extra weight worth it.  Bianchi also
SM>had a hybrid bike with front-only suspension in the catalogue.
hmmm next time I see one I must investigate further...am a bit out of
tough with the latest bike developments.....:)
SM> BP> it's nice to dream a bit, after all deeds evolve from dreams...
SM>I read reviews of Ferraris for the same reason (g).
Have been there done that.....have since scaled my dreams down
to a more realistic level......I think....hehehe
Reading maps, about places and people, dreaming to go there one day...
SM> SM>I can't wait for next year when I might buy something new.
Why wait for next year?....oh well it's only another 6 weeks to go.
SM> BP> Hey Steve, please tell me more about your Origin line. Are you
SM> BP> biking in Japan?
SM>Indeed, I am.  Since we are getting off the topic in the subject line,
SM>I've sent you another message about biking here.
Great, looking forward to hear from you
Saionara....Cya Bill
