Well, I dream and then I dream a little more about getting another mountain bike...
I've been riding my '96 Cannondale for nearly 13 years now, and while it still holds up well, I'm looking for something a bit more cushier for a 24 hour race I'm doing later this year...
Right now I'm looking at a Giant Trance 1 ..
I've heard great things about these bikes.. they don't look pretty, but are cheaper than a Santa Cruz Blur, and it should come in merely 5 lbs or so heavier than my cannondale... and I think it'll hold my weight.
Anyone else try out this bike yet -- or have compared it to a Santa Cruz Blur... I'm curious how it stacks up.
Of course, before I can get that bike, I may have to get the GF a real bike... I'm thinking... Yukon -- lighter frame, good standover for the short girl...
