[ETC-Discussion] RAW deal

Tue Jul 27 11:51:48 EDT 2010

 Eric & Arden's bike is a Santana, so it more than likely has 160 rear wheel spacing.  Co-Motion has 145, I believe.

Eric: 
You can borrow my rear wheel.  It is a 700 x 32 with a hub brake.  It will come off my co-motion.  I won't be needing it in the next few weeks.  Let me know it that helps.
