Congrats Mary! You better be careful on that GZ or you might wind up like me. I'm hooked on it! A day without a ride on my bike is like a day without sunshine. I have several thousand miles...

Frankie's eh? I'll at least look 'em up. It may be one of those circumstances where the cost outweighs any benefit. I think about a 3" extension would look really good and not change the geometery...

Forks
Thx Sarris..no I don't have any control issues with it. Acually, my big concern is comfort. I feel like if the forks were a tad longer, it would slide me a bit further back in the saddle and might...
