The Progressives you mention are a real and significant upgrade from stock.  The Bitubos are a real but smaller upgrade compared to the Progressives than the Progressives are from stock. 

Both good choices.  Can't go wrong with either.

You will probably have better luck finding a good deal on a set of Progressives, than you will the Bitubos.

103 might have some Bitubo's I'd sell at a fair price.

Nothing wrong w/that at all. Since I now know parts can be offered for sale of 103's bike I'll have to take another look and see if there is anything I want. :2vrolijk_21: :huepfenlol2:

Yeah, there are these small hassles alwasy involved whenever you're selling bikes or parts of bikes that belong to someone else.  Not really fair if you ask me.  People should be more giving.  Especially in an election year.
