time to get dirty

so the mountain bike dilemma is done.


And there she is.  At least this time i got what i wanted, for the most part.  If i was going to get a singlespeed i wanted a rig 29er.  If i was going to get a geared bike i wanted a hardtail 26 in bike.  

Dude who owned and rode this bike for a grand total of 5 rides, went OTB and broke his back.  What a pisser.  Not for me tho cuz he got rid of it on the fire sale tip.  Hopefully the bike has excersized all of the crash demons out of it.  The bike is far from stock with crossmax wheels which i will be working in a tubeless setup (adam, watch your hands), and a fox RLC fork.  I don't really like fox stuff, but everybody else seems to, so i think i will be selling this fork and getting myself a sid.  Also it has an XTR cassette, xt crank, and xtr pedals.  Gonna be getting rid of the xtr pedals too.  I dont know if i like them, i dont wanna know if i like them, i'm used to crank brothers from cross season, so that's what im doing.  

I think i'm gonna start slow by doing 6 laps at the 24 hour in san jacinto.  

Did i mention i have the handling skills of a thumbless orangutan?
