Hello Mike, Just a small comparison: let's say this site is for people that like to ride bikes. Some of them are even very good at biking; they build and/or tune up their own bikes. Now you come and tell us: Hey, I got bikes for free and I want you to test-drive them. Well, of course, everybody wants such a super-bike, even if only 10% of the features you claim it has are actually there. But, on the other hand, we mostly like our old bikes also and we know they want let us down. So, the new bike should (in a way) perform like we are accustomed to from our old bikes. Since we like biking so much we are very willing and eager to see these new bikes and to actually test-drive them! But be prepared that we will compare the new bikes to the old ones. We are in a win-win situation: If the new bikes arrive and live up to the expectations, we are happy; but... if the new bikes don't come or are not as innovative as they are claimed to be, we still have our old bikes, to be happy with! So, I'm eagerly awaiting my new bike; the biking season is about to begin! I'm ready to test-drive it up to it's limits! I think this comparison is just the right one for a youngster from Belgium. And I'm glad Everett W is no longer here to write answers to this kind of posts! Greetings, Ad Rienks
