Yes little man, (Olly) I used to ride, in fact I used to race, even won a couple of downhills. Okay, that was a few years ago, but I still have a full suspension Klein.

When are you going to have that bike assembled Chris? I fixed up my Rocky Mountain a few weeks ago, it rides great now. I replaced the chain and a handful of sprockets that were mangled. Also swapped on a more comfortable seat, clip-in pedals, new tires. I want to ride Porcupine Rim this Fall... you game? Perhaps an RME Mtn Bike ride? Tacoma, Skylinerider... who else?

I'm so down with that! I hear the ride down Porcupine is Wicked!

I have my old seat and post, you're welcome to them. There's nothing wrong with them, I just had one of those 'guy friendly' seats from my old bike that's more comfortable.

Porcupine is way fun, but I'm lazy and won't ride from Moab again, that's for the hardcore folks. I'm too fat nowadays, we'll have to figure out a way to shuttle us to the trailhead. There's a bit of climbing to start out with, but once you reach that summit, it's miles and miles of amazing downhill. It's so long you'll have to stop and take breaks because your arms will be sore from all the vibrating. And you can go as fast as you dare... fun!
