I have gotten so fed up with the bike industry lately. Hub standards, wheel sizes (both width and diameter), carbon, prices, 10-11-12 speed, needing a giant backpack for a 1 hr ride, calling riding your bike "enduro, etc. Not to mention what MTBers look like these days... Its enough.
After years of the latest and greatest full suspension wonder bikes, I have fallen back in love with just riding a bike. A hardtail bike to be exact. I bought a Chromag hardtail off Pink Bike 20 days ago and I have ridden my SB66 exactly once since then. Even then I regretted not riding my Chromag. Averaging 3 rides a week and still I am loving the feeling of an old school steel hardtail.
Hardtails rule and 26" steel hard tails rule even more.
Anyone else having this epiphany? And what are YOU doing about it?
