My goal is to make it better than it was with out breaking the bank. I have some down time because I crashed the bike only damage is both deraillers are bent. I hit a pole on the bay trail it was in the middle of a bridge at 5am, my light went out it was dark it was one of those poles they put in to keep vehicles from crossing the bridge. I spent 9 days in the hospital I ended up with broken collarbone, 9 broken ribs, puncture lung, bruised kidney and internal bleeding, I have surgery on Wednesday to put a steel plate on the Collarbone with some screws so I will have the time to do it right, my Park Tool bike stand just came a couple of days ago. Thanks for the prompt response. Rich
