i've got some old Oaks. i think i'll dig them out of hibernation and just use a junky pair for the time being.
picked this up in October. its a leftover 2010 model, they marked it $1000 off and i really liked it and couldn't say no. my 9 year old XC hardtail was literally falling apart underneath me and was too obsolete to upgrade anyway so it was time. i'm still getting used to how big of an improvement it is. it just wants to GO, the faster the better it rides. not a great climber but everywhere else it just covers ground like crazy and shoots through techy stuff wonderfully. mostly i'll just enjoy being comfortable enough to stay out on the bike all day now since it doesn't beat the hell out of me anymore.

only changed out the big ring for a bash and put different grips on there. the candy pedals are adequete for now but will eventually go away, and i may screw around with tire choices. otherwise i have no plans to mess with it. got in a couple weekends of riding now and have the cockpit adjusted and the shocks set to about the right valving. just in time for winter to kill all the fun :finger:
