Howdy,
Last year I put 2400+ miles on my Kona MTB. My friends, roadies they are, let me try thier road bikes and I finally bought a Raliegh Competion in Oct.
Since then my poor Kona has sat in the bedroom collecting dust. I fell like a trader to the fat tire world but I just love to ride 20mph with the same effort I used to ride 15. So here I sit 300+/- miles later wondering if I'll ever be accepted back into the fat tire world.
I will eventually get back to the mountains but for the rest of the rocky moutain winter it's skinny tires.

M.R.
