Jenson has banshees on killer closeout right now. Not sure if the build is dentist enough for you tho

HÜDJE.
With a cutoff wheel, even.
I have seen some really good deal on 2014 Carbon Sensor Pro models. Really good specs and full carbon frame. It runs the more stout rear end as the Force.
I'm hesitant to buy a complete bike from discounters, its hard for me to judge the value & quality of the build when I don't recognize the bits. The last complete bike a bout was a 1996 Trek Y22 with a Rock Shock Judy and Sram Grip Shift drive train. I love the shit out of it until I learned about pogo sticking... the OEM bits began to fail after 3 years starting with the odd sram carbon fiber cased rear derailleur, followed by the Judy locking up and only delivering 2 or 3 cms of travel. I spent more money fixing that bike than it cost new which was around 2K at the time, Dentist bikes in those days where at least 3K.

I like what I buy to last a good long time - my current bike is a 2003 Gary Fisher Sugar that I roached together in 2004 with bits from past bikes and take off components from Skookum's 2003? Giant Reign.
Fox Vanilla RLC Fork
Fox Vanilla R shock
XT Frogleg shifters / levers
XT hydraulic brakes
LX crans & front rings from 1999
XT rear derailleur / cassette
545 pedals
Mavic X3.1 wheel set.
I don't really know what the equivalents are today. I'll keep my saddle in lieu of breaking in a new one.

Carl Strong is in Bozeman and Sklar is too. Serotta isn't around anymore. Fat Chance is back in business if you ever liked them.
I didn't know they had closed but firing the personality of a personality based business didn't seem like a good idea. I check your guys out on the web.
EDIT: I could get this built for about 4K

dafuq isthat, a fat bike trail?Are dentists required to follow these signs?
Assuming said dentist gets this far into the forest...
Yes.dafuq isthat, a fat bike trail?
Its in a public forest, but I have a feeling that the ski resort next to it has free reign over it. They probably rented fat bikes over the winter. They also groom all of the fire roads for cross country skiiers. Not sure why that's a fat bike trail and the rest aren't, though.
Every once in a while you run into a group of Segway's from the resort...
Sounds like a popular dentists destination.Yes.

There is also a golf course, zip line AND paved parking lots for all of the BMW X5's and Audi Q7's to park in.

If you are thinking a bout a fat bike, some of the new 27+ bikes might be a good choice. The ability to run 3" wide 27" or switch to 29er tires and wheels.

in case you didn't know, kenan drives a tesla with the "insane mode" button now...just sayin'...
I am intrigued by fatbikes but my reality will be a full suspension with good bits I can trust. Size small or medium depending on the reach from the saddle, also need the ability to hang off back of the saddle or maybe have one of those fancy drop posts.
Meh... he could kick your ass in a half marathon. Was that today?
Dentists Car?
dentist's car indeed.

OK. So I didn't go full on Dentist. There were some kick ass reviews for the 2014 Sensor Carbon Expert despite a noodly fork and so-so brakes. The one I ordered is the "Team" and has a Fox 32 and Formula T1 which will be the only component that may need replaced.

I'm pretty excited now that I have finally made a decision, the bike should be here in a week, its new tires will arrive Monday.

You can save 3/4 to a pound by ditching the front derailleur and getting a Race Face narrow wide chainring. Might want to consider that after your fitness increases to where you don't need the front shifting. Which will probably be fairly quickly as new bikes tend to motivate riders. That is, of course, when the rehab center clears you for take off.
60 days to full release but I'm currently cleared to sustain a heart rate of 160 or lower.
I most likely will need the granny gear all this season and probably won't go back down fast enough to notice the weak brakes.
Hot damn that is nice. Well I love my Sensor. I have done a lot of small changes to it suite me better than the stock bike. I did a lot of the changes right from the start so I could sell the stuff I did not like brand new. I moved over some stuff from my old bike that I was still working fine like seat, brakes and cranks. I will be happy to share my experience if you need any input. The review from 2014 is spot on.OK.

So Sensor it is? You missed an opportunity to own a dentist's true classic!
Truth be told: my cash budget fell somewhere between dental hygienist and dental assistant. Besides, who in their right mind would take a Pinarello off road? No dentist I know.
