I just stopped asking. One day she asks "is that a new bike in the garage" I act like it has been there all along.

Pretty sure you need a whole new bike don't you? A nice AM bike so you don't have to borrow one again for Porcupine?

Do any of you remember the movie '10' where Bo Derek is running on the beach and afterwards she's laying on the sand and there's a golden glow about her and there's a soft filter they put on the picture?

Well feast your eyes on this! :hello:

(sorry this isn't my bike, but it's almost the same, i haven't even taken a picture yet its so new) I Just picked up the bike today. This beauty is burly and sexxxy, I can't wait to get her out on the trails; after my ankle heals of course. In the mean time, she'll be getting some good chamois luvin from me. :lol:

But a new wheel only costs $200! New bike costs 10 times that.

I've been looking at Formula brakes lately myself. The crazy thing is, is that according to Formula's website, the more XC-ish Oro K18's weigh 1 gram more than the THE ONE's, more freeride/DH brake set. 493 vs. 492.

I've been considering getting a set of THE ONE's for my 5 Spot. I mean, I'm no weight weenie but, hell--at those weights, why not?

I've wanted to get the new Ergon GP1 grips for a while now. Read a review tonight about them and now I think I might have to pick up a set this week...

I started mountain biking because I thought it would be cheaper than golf. What a lie... :roll:

I've never particularly cared for IH but the Sunday is one sick bike! I think Giant was planned to take over production of these in the next year or two.

Forgot to include my "dream bike"...
