and actually get a real mountain bike and ditch the silly dirt jumper or whatever that bike has evolved into over the last few years. That Fisher fat possum or whatever the hell it was you had a few years back was nice, lets see a real MTB bike come Dec.

Still kicking.
Thread Starter
Considering xc bores the snot out of me, that's not going to happen, if I want to get miles in, I'll get on my road bike or do sprint work on the track bike. If I want to use my mtb, I go to the pumptrack or do some urban stuff. The next bike is a jumper, but not too awfully far down the road, a DH bike is planned.

I must have missed the memo about DJers not being mountain bikes. Hmmm . . . . .

My Stable
My first real ride
I first built this '95 CAAD3 (or 2.8) frame back in 96. It was stolen from my apartment in 2005 and popped up on Craigslist this past summer. After the police told me there was nothing that they could do since I didn't record the serial number, I made arrangements to meet with the seller and convinced him that giving me the bike would be the best thing he could do for himself and his toddler son.
It was well neglected. I immediately sold the Gary Fisher Tassajara that I bought to replace it (but never really loved to ride) to finance the rebuild.
Getting my Cannondale back rekindled my love for riding so much that I had to get my hands on a full suspension rig. I hooked up with this gem on ebay for less than half the price of a brand new Trek Fuel or Specialized Camber
2004 SC Superlight with 19 miles. This bike was in mint condition and it happened to be my size (small...hard to come by on the used market).
for good measure...my Surly Crosscheck set up for road riding

Just picked this up today. I'm more of a roadie/tourist so it is nothing too fancy, but the disc breaks work way better than the V-Brakes on any of my older mountain bikes. I will get it out on some trails tomorrow.
2010 GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc
Photo is how it came stock. I have added WB cages (white) and shimano SPD clipless pedals.

In my county there's pretty much 2 good trail systems, used to be 4, but the state messed with them and the other two are a hole in the wall type of trails, but I am thinking about a 6" trail bike, not too awfully far from Bethlehem, Pa which has some great trails.

He'll want to get that taken care of. It'll add value to the home.
