I just saw your message, terribly sorry for not writing sooner! Glad to hear you got a 36". We'll have to do a ride soon. I don't really use the forum for communicating--too many inboxes. Best way to reach me is jim@jimsowers.com
Hi - spincycle - I gave in and bought a 36er on ebay
(an ex-RTL one from Geoff Elder, Team Balance)
maybe I will get to join the East Bay unicyclers for a ride.
