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. That’s a bike that is on my shortlist. Don’t know if I would do it justice or not. Would love to hear how you progress with it and the adventures you have.

Rubber. Down. Got it!

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!

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.

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

Congrats on the new bike. It looks like a blast!
