Its a super fun bike. I use it at most of the sort of local spots. I sometimes wish it had a fork but I can't bring myself to drop that much $ on a bike I only get to ride once a week. With a 2.55 front tire and the sprung Brooks its budget dual suspension. The 29er rolls so much better then the 26 in bikes I had before. It makes it easy. I had planned to take it out this weekend but the rain killed those plans. I just put 180mm cranks on it and wanted to test them out. I guess it will be the LA river trail, LB beach path, Signal Hill loop this weekend on the fixed gear. Do you ride a lot in town?
