Picked up my new ride just last week... and have put about 100km on it so far, and lovin' it!



Going from a hardtail to a full suspension bike is quite the transition. I'm still quicker on the trails with my hardtail -- but lovin' the fully suspended miles nonetheless...

What no stripes? At least it is a convertible.

Really nice bike Steve!

this bike is so close in colour to my car that I'm tempted to get black vinyl done up so it blends in with the racing stripes on the car when it's on the bike rack ...

Nice man, looks like fun

...................so how much?

Looks slow.

it's not the bike that's slow...

it's a 27lb trail bike with 5" of travel... it can be scary fast in the right hands.

and Nik, the MSRP on the bike is about $2900.

I love my Canadian Tire one for 300.00. For saving that much money, I bought boost! Now I never ride my bike... :lol:

$2900?

Wow... that's dedication. Good on you.

if you loved your $300 bike, you'd probably ride it once in a while.

and yes, it's a good chunk o' cash (if I paid MSRP), but it's worth every penny when you hit the trails at speed.

dedication is the 14 years I've been riding my cannondale... I was overdue for a new outdoor toy

Me too. Mine is a hammock. It even has racing stripes.

Maybe you should wear clothes when in the hammock.

SPF 30? -pfft- I'm still a crispy critter after a few hours. SPF 50+ and I might be safe.
