2. I thought you would get a kick out of it.

I just received the Shimano Ultrego 6800 group set and wheels this morning. This will be a learning experience for me to dismantle a perfectly good bicycle and reassemble it with new gear. All my former experience in bike maintenance and repair has been with cup and ball bearings and everything that goes with that. I need a few items like a new chain breaker for the 11 speed narrow chains and a cable cutter and chrimper. I have everything else I think, but as Doris Day sang, "The future's not ours to see."

I know what you mean about super bikes, I've never seen one that didn't have a rider on it. This old fart is not gonna shave his legs to get a ride on one.
