Re: Broke down ST update

["Mark Hanke" <mahanke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well hello stranger! I was thinking that same thing about Roberto's bike,
but wasn't sure. I would like to talk to anyone who has had a complete
rebuild. Just a little concerned. I don't remember when my bike was built,
early 99 sounds about right, Feb. I think.
