Ginger Wrote:RJ and I did two loops of Difficult Run/Reston tonight. Good riding.
I also put myself and the bike upside down into a hedge. So the record stands at 3.

did you buy a frame... one vastly different from anything you've ever ridden... without trying it? :burn cash:
- .RJ - 03-13-2009
Yeah so? :dunno:
- Mike - 03-13-2009
it's just kinda dumb. i would have found someone locally with something similar first. or tried something cheap first.
- .RJ - 03-13-2009
Guess I just disagree. I think its going to be a pretty sweet ride.

wheres the UG?
you arent leaving it that queer ass color are you?

i think it's going to be a pretty bling ride, but you have no idea how you're going to like it. my guess is since it's expensive, you're gonna force yourself to love it.
i liken it to buying a race car before your first hpde.

Or just an unfamiliar car - jumping into a SM, Spec E30, whatever. I bought my SV track bike without ever having ridden one and its been great.
There will have be something pretty wrong for me not to like it, but it will take some getting used to.

quick RJ, go ride something with 2 wheels, pedals and handlebars to make sure you dont all of the sudden hate bikes.
(we already know they hate you)
- xvxax - 03-13-2009
Are those the wheels that will be going on it below it or are those road wheels? My roommate has a 29", you can really tell the difference in rolling over things. I think you're going to like it.

Dag, nice components. Sweet ride. Perhaps we could try fountainhead or Wakefield sometime
- .RJ - 03-14-2009
Definitely wakefield
Pretty soon I'll be out on it a 1-2 weeknights and then weekend rides.
- Mike - 03-14-2009
that's pretty hot... i really do hope it works out for you; that's a bike you could be happy with forever (until it cracks). i like that you got it in "kermit." yes folks, that's the name of the color. lol.
- Ginger - 03-15-2009
RJ "doesn't ride" Fountainhead.
I ride it frequently during the season, though, so if you ever want to head out let me know.
- Mike - 03-15-2009
why doesn't he ride fountainhead?

Does it have to do with everytime RJ leaves the house to go ride his mountain bike he comes home a little more broken than when he left?
