ANYWAY, middle chain ring...going from 6-5...and it doesnt want to play ball...(...will go 6-4 easy...and 5-6....BUT can not do the 6-5...

I am also starting to look for a road bike...i am toying with some more serious riding...and the comfort bike just doesnt do it for me anymore!!!
BUT, will hang on to it, so i can ride more easily with my kids!!
