TimothyH I growed up in rural Arkansas. Ain’t got no stop lite, ain’t got no movie theater. I have family still there so ‘y’all’ is bred in my soul. (And was just in Atlanta April, 2017 for Masters)....

That’s how I feel, too. I saw this guy leaving a store with a new bike for his 10 yr old son. Big smile on his face (and mine) as we both remembered how special a bike felt to us as kids - freedom! ...

That hasn't been mentioned but has crossed my mind... maybe taller stem and new saddle would fix things... although I also suspect this bike is too big for me.

I’ve had it for 15 years but stopped riding it regularly about a year ago... but the issues of comfort were there from the outset. I just dealt with it until I got tired of it.
