[ST] Re: Picking up the bike alone....

       In addition, I'd offer the following:

Tie the front brake with a velcro strap.  When you lift it, the bike may 
still roll a little until coming up on compression and the front wheel 
will roll more because of the angle.

Lock the steering, if able to do so with the front wheel cocked toward 
the *DOWN* side.
This will keep the front wheel from straightening and lowering the seat 
height at first.

         My Dad taught me "Buy your tools (read: anything with four 
wheels) second-hand but in good shape at the lowest price you can 
find;... buy your toys (read: anything with two wheels) new and always 
get exactly what you want regardless of price... even if you have to 
sell the wife's car!"  Always found it to be good advice.           =;o)
