SKT - I'm not doing anything yet. But I'll keep at it a while and maybe someday I'll actually do something.
TWL - I'm already terrified to look over the edge. Now you tell me if I do I am going to ride over it. I'm double terrified. Great.
Maxx - I AM enjoying it. I was not what you would call bored with the street biking, but wanted some variety. I have found it.
fusilerdan - The bike is a Felt Nine Comp. It is their entry level hard tail 29'er, which even though entry level is to my thinking a pretty nice and well made bike. It's a different day when an entry level bike is $1300. 29'ers are still pretty expensive I guess.
