Thanks for all the suggestions and discussion. I was thinking of it
for weight, and a chance to change the bars and stem for a better top
of bar position, but I suppose I can do that with a quill adaptor.
The bike feels great and doesn't seem to be holding me back with my
riding group, but I'm starting to feel a bit self conscious about the
'your bike belongs in a museum' comments. I guess I should be over
the consumer pressure thing by now (age 49), but... sigh.
