I also want to thank John Eustice for putting the bike together. It was one of John's bikes he revamped and it is awesome! John use to be a pro cyclist. He now trains up and coming pros, that wouldn't be me, but I have learned quit a bit from him. He also puts on the big pro bike race Univest Grand Prix held each September in Souderton & Doylestown PA.
