First ride pic from Nov. 2005. Only updates have been to the cranks (ENO) and that old post broke and I threw another old post on there. After riding this bike all winter I came out strong like bull in the Spring !
Seriously this bike changed how I look at bikes - now I’m almost always on a 29er (have a 1×8 Walt as well) or on the road. Sold off most of the 26er stuff because of this bike.
