The older knees would really appreciate the Triple, and yeah my area in 
Central Massachusetts is very hilly!

Yeah I know, a screwy problem, I'm thinking of putting the old Hybrid 
tires back on to see if that would solve the problem. My worry though 
that if the high pressure tires are transfering too much vibration to 
my feet, would buying a new bike with HIGHER pressure tires (23's at 
about 150 psi) be even more of a problem for me! Rideing a MTBike 
without front shok, makes my forearms tingle and go numb.

Thanks for the info, can't say I have 9,000, though some days my legs 
might argue that. Yeah I'm looking for comfort, and enough speed to 
keep up with other riders of the group. Titanium outta my price range 
though.  8-(
