Goathead!

You da man with the Airborne? I tried calling their reps as I understand they have some actual shops. Call me primitive, but when I ride, I have to feel the bike. Must be the result of all those yellow pills...... That brand has been on my goos list for a loong time, let me know what happens.

Anyway, I have Shimano LX on my Bianchi MTB and 20K later they ride like a dream, as to wear, short of the squirrel tail in the rear der, its fine. I concur with Hugh as to Road components, My RSX on my Road Bianchi are runninng OK despite the abuse and weight changes I have had, 265 to 195 and the cranks are OK.
