Well...after reading a little. And doing some thinking. I think I'll put some tubes in this bike. Plop a new seat on it. And ride it after Im healed up. May not be until next spring. Ill concentrate on setting it up correctly (just a little readin and I saw how out of whack my bike is) I'll get my legs and endurance back. By then I'll have read enough to become immersed in the sport again. I already know a full suspension bike and a hardtail 29 are in the future. Maybe even a road bike too. Niether one of those bikes are going to rehab me any better, or do anthing the GT cant do at least my first ride season back. Sound reasonable? I always loved riding bikes. Strange how I let myself forget.
