Is steal real? (Trek 820)
I really love the feel of my steel fixie. But, I haven't ridden a steel mountain bike on trails since 1992.
I am half tempted to buy this little number. Would you? I am slightly nervous about the 100mm fork on the 820 frame.
Price seems right.
Oops, excuse typo in title. I have always gotten steel/steal mixed up.

To answer a previous question: I ride a lot of singletrack with BIG climbs and descent--small drops.
