Spring must be getting near. There seems to be alot of N+'s lately!
Here is another one. I sold my full suspension mountain bike on Valintines day.
I deceided full suspension was over kill for the trails here in Northeast Ohio, so
why haul around the extra couple pounds of bike. (the same goes for the engine but that can't be changed as easily :eek:)
My new light weight hard tail came by UPS today. It seems like a quality bike, I have'nt ridden it yet (except for circles in the basement). It is missing the mounting hardware for the front brake.

New bikes are always good. Nice catch JWH. Ride reports are a must.

Thanks Bill, I think I'll try a couple cross races on it.
It's a 29er and I figure if I put some 1.7 tires on it will be the same weight as my cross bike.

I spent quite some time drooling over that bike. Great value and looks good too. Too much hassle importing it to Norway so i ended up buying a used 26" hardtail. Really look forward to your hear haw you like it.

I'll let you know. It feels really nice so far (riding in 30ft. circles in the basement):D
I too can't understand how they sell a titanium frame, all XTR + the other goodies
for that price.
I felt sort of bad buying over the net instead of my LBS but I have spent, and will
continue to spend, many $$$ at the LBS.
