Thanks J :thumbup: .

 

Am loving how versatile and down right fun this bike is - takes me back to when my bmx would take me anywhere and everywhere...

Where can I get one, Ryan'?

Have the day off, and its raining :thumbdown:

@ least a good time for a "bike on the couch" picture.

 

Couldn't decide if i want a black or white, so .... it is a black and white :)

 

Hope it still fits in the title " Black bikes only" :blush:

So Sunday evening I decided to sell my Giant XTC to buy a Dual Suss bike....and today I walked out the shop with another, ..well, Hardtail.

 

Guess I have a thing for hardtails then...

Thx man. Yeah, that was probably my main concern, weight and climbing efficiency!
