i have an '03 Trek Fuel 100. Full carbon. F/R lockouts. It's awesome, but it's an '04 and has v-brakes. I get crap from my friends who all have dics (hydro & mech) and have newer styling. yet their bikes are aluminum

some kid on the trail kinda giggled and said "cool, old school" at my bike last year. i just thought, whatever. my wheels are prob more than his whole bike lol.

i don't plan on getting rid of my bike. it blows away the '09 fsr xc it replaced. wouldn't mind some updated wheels and maybe brakes tho.
