• Posted in thread: bike you loved as a kid??????????? on 05/26/2010 at 2:16PM
  first mountain bike.... The Giant ATX 970. (circa 1995) Before that, it was all about BMX. A GT, a
  Mongoose, and then a Redline Proline. It was candy green over chrome and decked out in anodized pur...

  Personally, given the beefier frame of the hybrid (likely Aluminum?) I would go with the 30mm for a
  little bit more vibration dampening.

• Posted in thread: Down with the sickness on 05/16/2010 at 3:40PM
  Respiratory infections are no joke. I had one last year that put me out of commission for 3 months. It
  caused damage to my lungs that I have only now just gotten over. My wife just got one a few month...

  I just recently sold my 97 Giant ATX 890 for $500. I wish I wouldn't have. That bike was great! 8 spd was
  king! Plus the bike only weighted 22 lbs. Y bikes were ok, but you got to ride them super stif...

  I like both the Time and Eggbeaters for the same reason. No madder how muddy, you can still clip in. Time

• Posted in thread: new 29er on market on 04/02/2010 at 12:58AM
  I like the 1x9 and the wheelset. No suspension fork? V-brakes? I do see the point of this bike, but its
  stupid. This bike is an attempt to prove that 29's don't have to be pigs. They also dont have to...

• Posted in thread: Riding singletrack on a cross bike on 04/02/2010 at 12:33AM
  I ride faster than most mountain bikers on my cross bike on dirt singletrack. Its the rocks and roots
  that get ya! I run 700x38s (70 psi). It is absolutely the most fun I have ever had on a bike. Afte...

  I'm down! If you have any cyclocross products, I would give them a good beating. Ah, crap! I'll be in
  Afghanistan until July. When I get back, however, I should also have a new mountain bike. (Redline...
