Interesting timing about Austone, Bill. I'm taking my Austone off this weekend with about 9-10,000 miles on it and going back to an Avon. Not because of any handing issues. I like it in many ways and not so much in others.
if anyone wants a FREE used Austone with many miles left in it, it's yours, if you're willing to pick it up.

I can pick it up and take to Z-hills if it helps.
