When I went to send this message just now, my spell checker suggested "crapulent" for cromulent
and "embitter" for embiggen.

What is this "spell checker" you speak of? In my experience, they just make the typos funnier.

<grammar nazi>"of which you speak?", not "you speak of?"</grammar

Winston Churchill's secretary once reminded him that it was bad grammar to end a sentence with a
prepostion (sp).

He replied: "That is something up with which I shall not put."

I DO NOT wish to take my bike apart on the garage floor while reading the "how to do it" text of
either a web site or a book.

But that's exactly the way to do it (or at least one very good way to do it.) Of course, you
probably want to work on a $25 tag sale bicycle at first.

Step 1: Buy beater bike

Step 2: Get copy of Zinn and the Art of Road (or Mountain) Bicycle Maintence

Step 3: Get a Performance (or Nashbar) Catalog (you're going to want some tools and stuff)

Step 4: Fix up beater

Step 5: Feel pride in both your improved skills as well as that fixed up beater
