Sorry, you are different then me. I could never think to own a road bike except for training for fitness. Epic on a road bike. I don't have the patience. I guess I move more towards a little extreme xc / freeride than anything. Even pure xc double track bores me. But then again some xc guys look at me like I am a freak and claim freeriding is a butchered sport anyways.

Oh and I am 27
