LOL, the previous rider would be my Dad. Yep, we're both 6'4" with 38" inseam. ;-)

I agree, I wouldn't want to put a rackmount on this baby, I'll have to figure out a way to get a 4-stroker like the SkyhawkII into the frame, but the kicker is that drum brake on the rear.
I'm not willing to give the drum up just yet, in fact I'd probably want to try to add a Sturmy-Archer Drum/Generator hub up front to match it.
That way I could run a light package for night time riding.

I just need to meditate more, the answer will be revealed to me in due time.
I'd rather take my time and do it right, than rush it and have to re-do it all later.
