It's actually my Frankenbike, as cheap as it can get, a Nashbar frame, old/used spare parts like a Rock Shox Duke fork, used Truvativ Hussefelt cranks, Surly 32t ring that I got from bjammin at the last Velo swap-meet, Performance ss kid and old wheels.
I want to get a better wheelset, I think I'm in the waiting list to have them done from Brian the Barbarian Custom Wheel Builder Inc. at LPQ but he takes forever :D
A front disc brake maybe, I don't use it much but I should.

i'm just glad jose always brings the camera.

except for the spider pic. i would seriously shit my pants if i saw that thing. i don't think i'd be mountain biking anymore. in fact, it's convinced me i should stop.

It's amazing the amount of trails you have to pick and choose from down there...
Is that the ss kit from performance?

Yep, from my drive way I have Sweetwater to the north two blocks or Otay Lakes to the east 4 blocks or if I go west or south then there is all kind of possibilities with some of the trails that you already know, I'm lucky.
It is the one from Performance for about $20 bucks, is very easy, and if I stick to it then I'll upgrade later.
