Bikes: A fat tire & a skinny tire & two others I loaned out

Nice, but not enough eye candy or info on ride experience to bypass the Rigs thread IMO.

Wow! So mountain biking is about eye candy now? All the eye candy in the world means nothing if you dont know how to ride it! IMO!!!!!!

The purpose of this thread was to show a picture of your bike with a label describing what it is. That's exactly what the 'Post your Rigs' thread is for. If the bike is exceptionally nice, unknown, &/or new, then I personally think it merits a thread to itself (others may disagree). Your bike is a very nice bike & I hope you enjoy it thoroughly, but there's nothing about it that screams "everyone must see this!" to me. I could be wrong. Then again, you could have a remarkably bad attitude, but are we really here to judge?

Just simply a guy who was proud of his new bike and thought i would share it. I'll go ride it hard and you guys can sit on bike forums and judge what bikes have enough eye candy to make you happy!!!

For the record, that was a sarcastic remark (hence the rolls eyes smiley). I have no problem with your post, or your bike, or the other 8 (whoa) bikes. But I do fully agree with Dannihilator...

Working in retail has caused me to lose all patience with people who don't read before opening their mouths (or posting). Like I said, it's a great bike & I hope you enjoy it, but I also hope you learn to post in the appropriate place. If I made a new thread every time I got something bike related this forum would be littered with threads containing nothing but pictures of various brackets & components that thousands of people here already have. Instead, I contain it all in a single build thread. Just like Dan was smart enough to try & contain all the new rides in a single thread. So pardon my organization.

I wish manufacturers would stop color coordinating their bikes. I hate bright, vibrant, colorful, flashy mid-range bikes. Makes me think of a little-leauge team with the one team dad that has waaaaay too much money and lives vicariously through his 10 year old.

That being said, I would ride the crap outta that bike. I'm sure its a dream on the trails and you have many happy miles to share.
