I have to say that this forum has become very valuable to me in its entertainment value.

mx_599, when you wrote the above, you were asking siu blue wind if the picture of my gf holding my bike was her.
then, i believe he read it wrong and thought you posted a picture of yourself, thus asking you if you've lived here all your life or not.
and then, santiago and i thought that he was referring to your avatar picture of kiera knightley.
so, we figure he was just looking at avatars to see what people look like, even though avatars could be ... anything ... like a brazilian cartoon character.
but, gastro cleared it up. he was looking at the picture you quoted, aka my girlfriend with my trek.

thanks for spelling it out for me. i assumed wheelhot could tell that the pic was not "my" post, but merely a quote oh well, i'm glad i contributed nothing to this thread! ...apart from the hot avatar

'95 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 FS
I bought my '95 Stumpjumper M2 FS new. It has lasted a lot longer than I originally expected. Having said that, the only original parts are the frame and front deraileur, and I'm on my fourth fork. The next upgrade will be a new fork (the SID is dead), probably a SID, possibly a Fox. Some shots:
A few weeks ago
The bent wheel...
The new wheel
Rebuild in progress this past spring.
I crashed last week during a night ride and tweaked the front wheel, but that one should be easy to re-true. The fork is another story.

stock, except for the fork which I've switched to a Manitou Nixon.
I don't have any pictures of it handy, and the bike is at work so I can't photograph it at the moment.
