Getting in to Biking!?

[lastlight]

Sweet lookin' black stallion bro. Bet you can't wait to fiddle faddle with that badboy.

I see you ended up with a hardtail. Nice lookin' bike there Chris.

P.S. Can mom and dad cover my 1st 1k on a new bike too?
You got some good 'rents there Chris!!

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.

Nice snag. I <3 my Devinci (my DH bike is a Devinci).

So when you coming down so we can go riding Chris??

Thanks Tony!

Will see what I can do! Definitely would be fun!
Would love to go for a rip with anyone who is interested btw!

Gah... Im giddy to get on this thing, haha.

3 weeks 1 day later, and I finally have it!





The bike is terrific but it makes a squeaking sound on left-foot downstroke already. And had a big scrape on the front of the frame I noticed after I took it home (which i did not inflict). Arrg.

Riding it is great. I cant wait to hit some trails!

Cheers,

Chris

That's one sexy hog. I'd love to hop on something like that but I'm not fit enough to get a leg up on it.
