This is my first post, I've been reading for a while now. I recently got into mountain biking and LOVE it. Anyways, my friend got some awesome pics at our ride a few days ago and I thought I'd share this one. We are at an overflowing stream cross and the wheel is my bike. I thought the picture was amazing.

I'm currently riding a Nishiki Bravo but it's only 14 inches! Looking to upgrade to a 18" frame soon. I'm still in the research phase but I'm thinking a motobecane phantom, but we'll see. Right now money isn't flowing all that much, but I think I can hack it. I've learned a lot from this site so far and will probably be learning a lot more soon!

Here's the pic:
