Its almost enough color to be a Denver Bronco bike, which would be way cool. You need to wear blue shorts to be that cool.

Nah, no blue in it, so it can't be a Denver Broncos bike!

I dunno what it is but I always end up with either an orange bike or orange on a bike. I had a GT Pro Performer in Dayglo Orange as a kid, then my GT Avalanche 1.0 was orange/silver, and now I have this one which has orange on it...

Thanks! I really like it a lot, aside from the fact it has the squeakiest brakes known to man! I don't even have 200 miles on it yet and the brakes squeal like crazy. They squealed after the first time I took it out!

The brakes aside though, it's comfortable, nimble, and I just really enjoy it! It feels fast!

The whole "Wooden Tiger" SN actually comes from the year I was born (Year of the Tiger) and the element for the year, which was "Wood."

Things could be worse. My wife is the "Earth Monkey" and my SIL is the "Metal Rooster." I think my youngest niece is the "Fire Pig."

Metal Monkey. :headbang:
