Just found this NG today and thought I'd introduce myself.
My name's Darrin and I ride in Southern California 2-4 times a week. I'm 36 and this is my fourth year riding. My bike is a 2002 Trek Fuel 90 with Avid mechanical discs. I'm lovin' this bike, except the chain suck that sucks even though it's infrequent. Just finished riding Big Laguna Trail and Noble Canyon in East San Diego County today with a couple of friends. Loving the pain I'm feeling now. Sucks I have to work tomorrow... Peace. -- ____________________________ TOMMY HOMICIDE http://www.tommyhomicide.com |

I was happy to see so little damage (relatively speaking) in the area from the fires. The photo on the front page of your site reminds me of an old girlfriend I had. Well, except for the black bar across the eyes. On another note (intended- sorry) where do you guys usually gig in town? miles |

Also > considering Rocky Mountain, Yeti, Ellsworth, Intense. What > do you ride? What I ride is not really important. Names is for tombstones, baby. What is important is that neither smellsworthless nor santa crud are bicycle manufacturers. They are only marketing and (sometimes stolen and often outdated) design companies. You never know who is really building their bikes. Stick with your notions of Yeti and Intense, unless you don't like low bottom brackets, then count out the Intense Spyder. If you were leaning towards a santa crud blurb hypecycle, ask Anthony Sloan what he's switched from one of those to. Riders ride bikes, not buzzname mass-marketed junk.

(But I'll mention again that I haven't had chain suck issues on my old Fuel 90 or on my new Sugar, both of which have those cranks.) -- monique |

I had to do an emergency unbending with a large rock just so I could ride out. Replaced with Shimano XT cranks. -- ____________________________ TOMMY HOMICIDE http://www.tommyhomicide.com |
