Mike (spidey?) - I'm digging the hell out of the monkey. I'm still dialing in parts of it, and it hasn't seen much beyond some fire roads at tilden yet, but it's one of the most fun bikes I've been on in a long time. It's equally happy hopping curbs, spinning out down telegraph, and cruising fire roads.

Today I'm tossing some of those top-mount cross levers on it, and adding a middle chainring and front derailleur to the mix. I have a vague idea of the 44 being the street chainring and the 32 being the dirt chainring, but we'll see how all that works out in real life.

To sum up : yay monkey!
