Ok, so I got the thing put together.... That's a start.
It's not the greastest bike ever built but for what I do it's about
9 steps above what I have now.
The price was right for what I got, plus it's a 22" so it really fits my lanky ass a bit better. After test riding, I suddenly realize that the Shimano Altus is gonna have to go. It's the only thing on the bike right now that I just don't like at all.
It's actually the first "real bike" I've ever owned and I'm amazed
at how it's geared. I've never had a bike with such a wicked climbing
gear. I think I will enjoy that most of all.
Good lord, when I started doing this, there was really no such thing
as a mountain bike like the ones today. My first mountain bike was
a rigid fork 10 speed with the shift levers on the steering neck.
I rode most of the time in single speed. Scales wasn't quite what it is today but I managed to ride that beast out there.
had a lot of fun at Angel mounds though.
Maybe I can have even more fun now.
