Hum, time to start a new `MTB` Thread?
Probably a good idea... Any other closet MTB'ers here?
Yep, but I haven't ridden in a while. I'm on a (prehistoric) 1993 Marin Bear Valley frame that needs a new rear derailleur (sp?). I have lost touch with the MTB world to be honest. I was into it back in early 90s when I was a teenager. [That bike cost me a pretty penny back then!] I was gonna start going to competitions, but it was around then when I discovered the pub.
But its all come on loads since then. I mean, I see EVERYONE riding full sus bikes.
Back when I rode, you were lucky to be able to afford some Rock Shox for the front. I had a couple of friends who had those Girvin Flexstem thingies.
[I don't understand why people ride full sus around town...surely X% of the energy is wasted?]
