thanks pumpkin..that is indeed who I am going to purchase from. I think for an added fee they will do some additional prep for me. i talked with the guys there and they seem like good people i just wish i could afford some of their more expensive bikes. i am basically gonna use this one to get back and forth from martins ferry Ohio to west liberty state college. gonna save a fortune on gas but probably either kill myself on ice or die of hypothermia for the first couple months. hehe. oh well....
