I'll have you know that KM is five years old now. It's practically vintage!

Re: Re:
They just keep on working, so no need to change them. Just oil the chain and go...
As for dropbars on a mtb, what Shiggy says here is the best explanation I've read http://mtbtires.com/features/bikes/why_dropbars.html. But then it's bound to make sense to me because I was riding mountains on a skinny wheeled SS dropbar bike before we had such exotica as mtbs. At least now I've learned it's ok to use a smaller chainring than a 48
Edit:
Er, oops, forgot. That's what I have on my Ti Pompino...

Re: Re:
In that case it won't see much road.
You'll finally understand the meaning of temptation.
Go for a road ride, see an interesting track, oops...
Next thing you have no idea where you are, but where ever it is, it's better than where you were going. That's a reasonable description of one of my rides - I think Jamie will agree.

Aye, not bad for a girls bike Col.
Got the monkey finished and took it out for a wee ride. The bike performed faultlessly. Shame I can't say the same for myself. I think it will be a while before I am back to full strength.
Still, it's a good excuse to keep trying. 
And for the first ride the tarmac count was suitably low Brian.
