lol I just meant I don't think a total of $200 would be too much for a slightly outdated full suspension frame with a rebuilt shock. If I overpaid somewhere, ah well.

All I know is you need to hurry up and finish that rig so we can go for a ride on some fun single track stuff.

I still have a hardtail until then!

I'm trying to find someone brave enough to explore this with me.

I found a coil shock I might be able to run on it while I get the air shock rebuilt.

You're saying you're gonna stick with the hardtail until you get the right rear shox? Blasting out on the trails using hardtails is okay, but maybe not on very harsh trails..believe me, my butt once sored when I happened to blast out my fully-rigid MTB on an unexpected, very rocky route. Now I learned my lesson..

Is this the trail you are talking about?

If it is what's so special about it? I've done almost all of the cheeseboro trails and there are whole lot more fun ones at and around cheesebro.
I did the super fun los robles day before yesterday and I'm gonna try to get out this sunday too, if I can line things up I'll pm you the time and the location. You are more then welcome to join us.

Nope, I don't see it on the map. I do see the start of it in red, though See that red line that breaks off of Albertson just NW of China? It starts there and seems to go east until just before Las Virgenes. I call it exploring because the only thing I know about the entire route is what I can see on the satellite images. It might not still go through, it might drop off a cliff, or something else could turn me around.

But, it looks like the part that actually is a trail is closed to bikes, though. I do plan on trying some trails leaving Victory Blvd though. Know any good routes there I could try this weekend?

I've already been doing it. I just have to slow down a tad for the rough stuff. The full suspension frame I got is just a XC frame with about 3" of travel front and rear. I'm not doing trails like Dead Cow or anything.

I did find a coil shock I might buy to use while I send the air shock to be rebuilt.
