Yeah... I just had to get it done and ended up going new... you get better components that way anyways, and I like my 1 year warrenty
Haha. The 'next' upgrade (that I hope to do ASAP, as soon as I can get some cash) is get a Devinci Moonracer full-suspension frame, since many of the components are similar or identical. Then I can use the hard-tail frame to build a second 'back-up'/hardtail bike from it.
Yes, my parents are pretty cool
Part of the reason for getting a new bike is so that I ride it the 5-10 min ride to and from uni every day rather than driving my gas-guzzler SUV... which will hopefully save the cost of the bike in fuel.
Brett... yep, cant wait! Haha.
Thanks guys.
