Thanks, the NCX is nice! Thanks to another member here Craig, $70 from Germany!

Nice work buddy!

OOPS on the saddle, long ride today as I felt good. I'll call the angle, "numb nuts". That is all.

I just picked up that same seat post on Amazon for 80 dollars!

$10 is $10! I think I may try a Cane Creek. This one isn't as smooth as I'd like. Kinda irritating in some respects.

[OptimusPrime]

Actually I just remembered it was 89, so you got a good deal. I've seen them for 150, thats why I went for it at 89. I have a Cane Creek Thudbuster on the bike right now, it's the ST because I don't have room for the LT. When I get the NCX I'll let you know how they compare. What do you mean by irritating?

Great build, nice work! How are you liking the hookworms? I am contemplating a set myself - wondering about safety at highspeed vs. schwalbe 50kmph rated tire

I was going to ask how you liked the saddle but it sounds like it's a "work in progress" LOL. I always have difficulty getting a saddle/position combo that's comfortable in a flat foot style bike for more than a few miles.

DEFINITELY gets fixed today. You can see by the fence boards it's exaggerated in the photo but it is numbing. I wondered if someone would parse the comment...after I realized I forgot the photo. Good catch!
