I would definitely go with compact. It is getting more and more common as well. As Jay H said, you can change out the rear cassette to a 12x28 and be very close having a triple. If you were doing a lot of hills, then I would say a triple for that last bit of relief, but you will be fine with...

I probably shouldn't be replying to your posts as I'm too opinionated. I think Trek and Specialized make fine bikes. I'm just sick of seeing them. I live in Portland and they are everywhere. There's a shop on every corner selling them. I think people buy them because they are popular and they...

Do you know how much riding your planning on doing? If not alot, then 105 might be enough. When Shimano came out with Ultegra SL it was really close to Dura Ace 7800. A year or so later they released DA7900 and the gap widened a little again. I have heard that they are/have redone 105 and it is...

You do know that there are teams riding Specialized in the Tour as well, and that they "cost as much as a Trek?" The Madone line is started to be "bastardized". Meaning they are bringing the price point lower and thus losing the exclusivity of it.

Quote: He did tell me that Specialized CF frames have a lifetime warrranty. I find that a plus if I go for a CF bike. I would be surprised if the warranty covers crashes. Most likely not.

There are problems with any material bikes are made from. Ti, being the least likely to fail. Sure if you're commuting, your needs are going to be different, and you might want a stouter bike. It doesn't sound like that's the case here. Carbon fiber is the popular choice these days for a bike...

I would go for a whole new bike. It's a good value and you'll be current with the newest in components. Also, unless your racing, I wouldn't worry about carbon fiber being weak. If it's good enough for the Pro's.... I don't know what your budget is, but I wouldn't limit myself to just one...

I loved the movie but it sure made me sick. I fought throwing up and several people had to walk out. It's too bad they couldn't have made it easier to watch visually. I was kept from really enjoying it because I was fighting nausea so bad. Also so we know that at the end the "whipser" says...

I don't have any info, but I would love to see these come to film. What's Peter Jacksons number again...?

I dont mean to be a nay sayer, and while I do think it's a good film I don't think it's the best. First there is nothing in this one that we haven't seen in the first two, minus the plot. That $$#% 'n shakey camera work is there along with I don't know how many "over the shoulder of some guy...

posted in wrong thread...sorry

I am going to Cabo in April and wondering if I am gonna need a travel adapter? Just going to be charging my Mp3 player and camcorder. Are the plug-ins gonna be different?

I have the same sentiments as DaveM. It is just sad to see a human go through that type of life even if most of the things were self-imposed or whatever. What is truely sad is what becomes of her child? The innocence of that little girl and what she'll have to endure growing up...

Sold the rest tonite.

Guys, I am so sorry! It had been a few weeks with no responses so I kinda just forgot I had posted here. I have sold the center and have a guy coming by tonite to look at the rest. I will post the outcome tomorrow. Once again I am sorry. Chris
