My first day with my new baby and I put the first 100 on her! Just about a year ago I came to this site looking for info and advice. Some thousands of miles later and many many hours on the trail, I picked up a new bike (the job helped!). I'm keeping my starter and I am just going to mod it and make it a badass trail bike. Thanks for y'alls advice on gaining skills and gear info!

Ooohh I am extremely jealous.

It was on my extremely shortlist, when I first saw it I fell in love with it. I'm sure you would do it justice, as long as you got long legs lol! I think you can get a short seat with it though, I don't know if that is an issue for you. I'll keep you up on the trouble I get into for sure!

I'm 5'9" with a 32" inseam, I think I could manage the height but I would not like to be any smaller. I was thinking with a bike like that I would have to go on long trips with some offroading thrown in. Most of my riding is day trips and I live in the middle of a city. It's not the ideal urban bike :)

Practice seating on one thigh

Practice seating on one thigh before you come to a stop.. you don't need to flat-foot the bike on both side when you're stopped.

Congrats on the new bike. It
