Thanks for that info..
I understand that I'm going to have to spend a bit of money and I'll look into your suggestion. I don't mind spending double what I'd like if it's necesssary if it will serve me well.
As for Miele, I'm only familiar with it because it comes from Italy and I saw a lot of bikes on my mission that had Miele frames. And I'm assuming you knew my comment about the Schwinn was TIC. My affinity for all things cheap should be well known by now on message boards across the country. :wink:

The only way to gain weight from lifting is to EAT and EAT More. After I dropped all that fat, I wanted to add muscle. So I did the 6 meals a day but made them all much larger. I still ate clean. I went from 179 (I'm a shade over 6' 1") to 195 over 6 months and my bodyfat actually dropped. I'm now up to 205, but stopped eating clean and I'd bet most of the last 10 pounds is fat. I need to start eating right again. |

What Steelblue said is what I meant to say:

Isn't 10% body fat too low for a woman. I thought they stopped menstrating if they got below that. |

Many thanks for this info...
Steel:
Thanks for posting that. I guess I've been under the wrong impression all along about losing weight/lifting. It's always good to learn something, eh?
