Thanks Tim. I saw a bike at Halters that I really wanted. Now I have two newer bikes and know I will only ride one of them. It's interesting that even if we already have the perfect bike, and know it, we still want to try something different, or just want to buy another bike.

Does anyone have a Garmin Edge 705 near the Princeton area that I could borrow for a couple of hours? My 705 usb upload port has died. I could transfer my rides using the ANT+ transfer between devices and then connect to your 705 to get the files.
Or, if you have one to sell, let me know.
Tim.
I have read through most of this thread and am still confused about a few things on the 705.
1. If I order the base unit w/o additional maps, is it still useful for general road navigation?
2. Even with the small screen, can it still help you find your way home w/o having loaded...

Especially Halters. He easily could have been sold a new cassette even though he didn’t need it. How many shops would have taken the time to measure and inspect his cassette?
"It is all about the parking lot test ride. They make the bike "feel" faster in the lot but they can't be good in the woods."
Didn't Cannondale have the opposite problem with the Prophet? They came with slow, sticky 2.3 Maxis High Rollers that were terrible in the parking lot but better on...
Yes it is
Great bike. Bought it new in 1991 in State College, PA. It is a rigid M700 with the 'pepperoni fork'. I rode that bike all through Roth Rock for years weighing over 250 at the time, and never so much as a creak out of the frame. Looking back I can't believe it could handle...
Depends on the kid
The attached picture is from awhile ago when my little girl was almost 2yo, like 1 3/4 and the boy was almost 5. I even pulled my girl on some of 6-mile run single track...until she started crying too much for me to enjoy the ride.:(
Sometimes my wife would even make me...
