Advantages: Nimble, durable, versatile Disadvantages: Gearing too low for speed on downhills
I purchased a GaryFisher Nirvana as a deeply discounted "clearance" item in the late 1990s, and have used it for short commuting and longer weekend rides ever since. The cro-moly frame and fork have worked smoothly and held up well, the wheels have taken a pounding without distorting, and the gears are still functioning without flaw.

-Using a teaspoon, drop small heaped teaspoon dollops of the batter into the paper cases.

Transfer mini cakes to a cooling rack.
-Meanwhile add a few drops ...
