back in business

I was starting to think I might have to push back my plans for the cross-country ride, but after talking to my friend last weekend, I am much more excited about making it happen.

I finally found a place close by that carries the LeMond Sarthe. I talked to one of the guys there over the phone and he rode one all last year. My real question for him was how big of a difference there is between steel and aluminum bikes. He said it's noticeable. I've heard opinions both ways, but I trust this guy's opinion the most because I know he rode a steel bike.

So the plan is to go give the bike a spin and see how it feels. They might have a 2007 model that is my size and is on clearance for $1400 (I think).
