Got me a Cannondale F5 today. 27 speed SRAM gear train. I haven't been to the trails with it yet but I will be blitzing some singletracks after church!

It's cute, D.
....just kidding. I'm always glad to see someone getting into it. If I only had the money I spent at the ER/Urgent care, I would have a rockin' bike! Ok... well, my bike is pretty rockin'... I'd have ANOTHER. :DWe bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!

I've had mountain bikes in the past. I had my police mountain bike but had to turn it in when I left. I missed having a bike and they had a decent deal on this one. It's all I need.

I said the same thingg until I started getting more into trail riding... and then occasional races. Nowadays, I am trying to get back into things... overseas stuff put a bit of a dampener on things.

Darin,
The web-pic is nice and all... but lets see YOUR baby! Mine is up in the pics thread (somewhere ;)). It's been a week since I've ridden and I'm twitching for another ride.

Nothing wrong with that! I'm still riding a hardtail because I can't afford the full suspension I want. :D Originally Posted by Darin

It's probably just the fact you have more padding on your tail! LOL
...and,a s I always tell my kid: Anyone can ride the trail, but how fast! Some long log piles and root-riddled trails come a lot faster and easier with the soft-tail.We bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!
