bike ride

on wed, I tuned up my bike. It took some time and a couple of aha! moments, but I finally got all nine gears to work. Last night I went on a six mile trek, and broke my right shifter. It still works and all, all six gears, but it pulls back just a little too far. It's allowed to break, cuz its at least ten years old. I think it's time for another bike. It's my baby bike, but someday I will have to let it go.
My ideal bike...
26" mounten tires
dual suspention
18 speed (c'mon its NWO you don't need fifteen gears (26 speed)
trigger gearshift
light alluminum frame
painted steel rims
disc breaks (hard stops with v-breaks mess up the rims and make for ruff stops in the future. Trust me I know)
