Like I said, I already had the 2 wheeler custom made exactly the way I want. I don't need to scratch that itch again. Given my situation I am happy with my choice, but thanks for all the info.

Where I live if you leave a light, a bag, an seat with a QR, etc., it will be gone in minutes! Someone actually stole a bag off my adult son's bike that had a big rip in it! And any bike is fair game...
