I want to see a picture of you riding in 20F!
hey....he said "the 20s"-which it might be at the start of a winter ride in the mtns...before it warms up to a balmy 45*I want to see a picture of you riding in 20F!
My neighbors think I am crazy when I shovel snow in shorts.
ALL HAIL THE NEW MONOCLE DAWN!Since my vision has started to suck practically overnight, I have to lean over the front to sight up the lander...I have since requested that Oakley make me an one-off enduro monocle.
I like it! A new market for mtb eyewear - The EndurocleALL HAIL THE NEW MONOCLE DAWN!
It's a lot of fun. Moving to large bikes after 20 years on mediums has been a major revelation, so much less work to carry speed.Looks awesome. That bike really likes to go fast huh?
Holy rear brake line batman! Hope you have trimmed that down by now so every branch along doesn't try to high five it to non existence.Some morning SF east bay single track and fire road tucking. First time taking the new Spitfire out to the local singletrack.
I have had exactly the same experience over the last few years. Went from M/L with old school short reach (like 420ish) to really long larges (475mm) and it has been awesome. I finally feel like my bikes fit me despite the fact that I never felt like my old bikes fit wrong--if that makes any sense.It's a lot of fun.

Figured and was hoping you just couldn't wait to ride it. I think we all get that.Compression olives coming next week.

That perspective makes it look like an easy sunday stroll through the local park on a flat pathi think when i finally get a new bike the modern "large" will finally fit me right. i always find myself scooting back a touch on my seat, even with an unfashionablly long 60mm stem.
here's a pic of @canadmos hitting the lower part of lost cove cliffs in wilson creek-prob the trail that loses the most altitude over the shortest distance out there...the leaves hide the babyheads well
