I have a slightly ridiculous number of mountain bikes, although only a few of them regularly get taken off-road. I've got a long travel Santa Cruz Huckler and a modern (2005-ish) Klein Attitude hardtail. Having at least front suspension really does make a huge difference for modern, very aggressive trails, I've reluctantly decided. Also, I discovered that as a guy in my 40's, I recover a lot quicker if I ride suspended.
That said, I've also got a MB-Zip which is ridiculously light and fun to ride, a very early fillet-brazed Mt. Goat, a nice mid-80's fillet brazed Ritchey, and an early 90's Alpinestars elevated chainstay bike that I converted to a ridiculous fixed gear after the derailleur hanger bent irreparably. Oh, and my daily rider (apart from my Rambouillet) is a mid 90's Voodoo Bizango converted to drop bars, with fender/rack mounts I brazed on myself. That one still sees quite a bit of dirt, too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
