oh, smart are we? il put up pics of the drop-off in my woods tomorow. I lost the reflector in the front and ive tried everything to get the one in the rear out. The wheelset is like one of the only things that switched over from my last bike, they're light and strong and havnt broken yet, so i wont replace them.

no, I dig that frameset design. It's very futuristic lookin'
I like the aggressive looks of the newer carbon MTB frames.
My trek is really pretty boring looking. it just functions well.

I may go for a bike ride this weekend. I'll come back and post about how cool my bike is and how big I go but I won't do anything to back it up. I could post about my super cool Nixon fork too.
