That bike looks sweet! Cross bikes are great for city riding and for fast trails. You can rip a non tech trail on a sub 20lb, rigid 3cm tire bike...


On another note, is there any decent riding in/around Chicago for mountain or road? I have applied to grad school at the University of Chicaogo, but I haven't really spend much time there...

Road scene is real big. Lots of commuters/fixed gears running around the city streets. Lots of road riding to be had and a ton of clubs. The dirt scene is getting better. The local group seems to be always in the works with building new trails. The riding isnt bad but there is NO selection. We basically have two places to ride dirt. Otherwise, Chicago is a really cool city, especially during the spring and summer. Let me know if you have any questions...

you'll need a FAT financial aid package considering how expensive that school is. Good luck with that though U of C is a great school.
