Lou... Ive found in general that the Velo crowd does less tinkering than 
the "EZ" crowd does.  and a lot more Velos were built by others rather 
than the owner.  They tend to spend money on things for fixes rather 
than come up with a cheap homemade solution.  

The above is applied in general to their population.
