I better start training for this thing.
Sorry I missed it. I was busy and had not been following the Ragbrai group announcements then. I heard a good time was had by all.
If you're talking about Dr Terry Nicola at the Sports Medicine clinic at UIC I totally second Dan's recommendation. He got me through both a stress fracture & a torn meniscus.

I apologize for the missed meetup. I have had a family health emergency and will be headed to Ohio, for a funeral.
I'm there!
This is more a meeting for Team Team folks to coordinate our plans. It is not a Ragbrai party.
Will there be drinking? Do I need to represent my team?
OK. If Marty is cool with Aaron he is cool with me. He can come.
I might not be the best one but I can vouch for Marty.....he's one hell of a cycling Santa :P
I dunno. Got any references?

One other thing of our previous thread that raises a question is that when I took a good look at the bike in the sunlight this afternoon one can clearly see blue paint showing through in various places on the frame and chain case. That along with the plastic fenders and no locking fork raise the question of whether this might be a parts bike salvage. This isn't anything I can't live with-I'm just wanting to establish what the bike is and to get your thought. My lbs says that he sold a lot of these bikes and there were not any plastic fenders. Did you buy it from a private party or a bike shop? Anyway, that's the latest. Jim

- Michael, yeah you definitely did a great job of packing. And I appreciate your observations-I think the variation in manufacture that you mention is likely the case. I'm taking it down to the lbs next week and look forward to some good times with it. Thanks again and enjoy your weekend. Jim

- Hi Michael,
Please see my earlier post re comments and questions. Also, how do we reconcile that this Superbe does not have the fork lock which is a signal item for that model? BTW, the lugs on this model are really nice. Regards. Jim

- Hi Michael,
Got the bike at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon as you forecast. Really great job of packaging and FedEx apparently knows how to handle bikes (I've heard they were good). Got the bike nominally assembled so that I can wheel down to local lbs. Does it need reconditioning in general or anything specific? There's a slight tear in the lower rear fender that I'll see about repairing and I'll be looking for a kickstand on ebay or wherever. There's a small clamp hanging on the rack-do you know what that's for? Is the rack an add-on or OEM-I'm asking because of the color.
Anyway, I am really pleased with the bike-it seems a neat size and I can just clear the top tube. The saddle is cool like you said and so is the bike. Thanks very much for getting it out so soon. If you'd rather I call you with all these questions, let me know what's the best time for you; otherwise hope to hear from you direct BTW, my email address is: jamesduncan03@comcast.net for direct replies that I can't miss. Thanks again. Regards. Jim

- Hi Michael,
Just got your message. This is the first one I've received since you gave me your address. For some reason, your earlier messages about confirming the address and sending the bicycle did not land in my email box like your other messages so I did not know you were sending me messages! Sorry to not be responsive. For the record, my address is 6870 E. Via Colorada, Tucson, AZ 85750 but I think that we will be okay with how you sent it. I am looking forward to having it. If I change out the rims, will that necessitate changing the forks and so on? I know that changes to the Superbe are a lot easier than fooling with my Raleigh Tourist Dl-1. Thanks again! Jim

- Hi Michael,
Good talking to you this morning. I'll get check out today after lunch and then let you know it's sent by followup. Thanks again! Jim

- Hi Michael,
Thank you and I definitely want to buy it because even if it's a little big, that's ok and my brother will also enjoy it. (I had an old Raleigh 10-speed that was probably too big technically for me and it was fine.) I too plan to have my lbs do the same rim replacement you're talking. When you're ready, let me know for sending the check. My phone number btw is 520 529 0887. I'll send check for total amount on Chase Bank and after you cash you can send. I will give it a good home. Thanks, again! Jim
