That's always my favorite thing to see on Mammoth trips, classified ads for local-owned bikes. "Only ridden one season."
After a weekend at Mammoth the AS-X was clapped out! Burned to hell brake pads and busted spokes everywhere. I couldn't even imagine living up there during the summer and what happen to a bike. You'd have to replaced it every season.

I think patience is key in finding the diamond in the rough. P found his R9, nags the Wilson, A his German monster. Shoot, a 07 Glory 0 frame will soon be posted with super low miles and little abuse with a kick ass price tag.:)

Put up a wanted ad, that's how I found 2 of my hard-to-find frames in the past. Both times the seller wasn't really thinking of selling it until they saw there'd be a buyer.

parking lot pictures techically arent pictures of a trail.

I would join you riding if every ride wasn't starting at 8am and 1 hour drive from my house.

Ben, for you ,we'll push back the time to your convenience if you're down. The hour drive however, I can't get around. Theres not too much happening in the MDR.

Sunday, we are thinking a later start. Maybe a SJT or another Claremont run around 1pm. Who knows, Wilson may also be epic.

Ben, in 2 weeks I'm cleared to ride again and I'll definitely be doing a Sully run or two. Nags and I will also surely hit Wilson soon after to try his Wilson ;)
We're at SOC next weekend or I'd ride then.

not sure what i'll be up for sunday. i do need to visit my mom (her b-day). i figure that means bullcrew will be at the house until about 2pm, which is when i will show up. i'd prolly be up for a mid-morning quick sully run. the franken-HT needs some love this week.
