With 12mm of extra clearance, I have forked the Zion. Had to lower the bars a bit.

This requires the Ventana race (for Chris King Headset), mated to the Cane Creek S3+ headset.

Just bouncing around the driveway, felt very flexy and uncertain after spending the time on the rigid. We'll see.

On another note. Listened to the ipod on the long commute yesterday. This was my first time ever listening to such a device while doing some semblence of exercise.
Wow. I never thought my U2+Newsboys playlist could get me humming like that on a bike. Listened to a great brain science lecture on the way home. I need to find the link for it because it was facinating. All about the self recognition, and how brain function makes up the person/self, and refuting of the greek idea of soul/body dualism.

Here is the link. Skip about the first ten minutes until the scientist (John Medina) speaks. really great stuff.

The main page has lots of lectures. If they are anywhere as good as this one, I want to listen to them all. In my spare time of course.
