    Busy weekend for me. Our twice yearly stream clean up is this Saturday. On Sunday I have a connitment to church for half the day. Somewhere in there hope to go and try out a used bike. I found a used 2008 Rans Fusion for 1/2 the price of a new one. Seems like only the brakes, brake levers, and the headset are different.

    I hope so Susan. The CFO likes this one better. ;)

    Used does not bother me with this purchase.

    The seller has had the bike on the market for a while so I think I can wait till Monday if I have to.

    She has a bike and I am sure that if I get this bike and she rides it there will be a new bike in her future. ;)

    Nothing major or fancy. Just stuff to make it work better for me. Running boards, seat covers, BakFlip
    Yup. Makes sense to me, anyway.

    ok..I am 64. My first Toyota was a 1969 Hilux with the turn signals mounted on top of the front fenders. Wish I still had it. Best gas mileage ever! :D

    Take a test ride on a Rans Crank Forward bike. You may not want to go back to a diamond frame bike again.

    Thanks johneman for starting this thread. I needed a Geritol Fix. Younguns were wearing me out.
    I guess I meet the standards 63 (old ) and drive a Kids truck.

    :confused: I may be wrong but I believe someone earlier used the term "Kids Truck"
    So had I said womans truck I would have all the Guys on me and If I had said man's truck you probably would not have been pleased with that? Just can't win for Losin

    Good morning all, welcome Beeb. Looks like we had Spring in March and Winter back in April. Supposed to get snow during this week. I doubt that it will amount to much, snow just the same. Spent Saturday in a Pittsburgh suburb helping my daughter get her house in shape. Cold an rainy. Have a good day. Paul
