You got a special hubby!
He's pretty damned awesome, most of the time! I think he just really likes seeing me "tattoo'd" with bruises, heh. ;)Quote:

I know he's really happy that I decided--with a lot of hestitation--to give it an honest try (thanks for the motivation, Catrin), and he's thrilled that I'm loving it as much as I do. We come back way more amped from our mtb rides than our road rides. That's not a diss on road riding; we're just really enjoying the time we spend together on the trails.Quote:

Looks like I may not get to ride my new bike at Owasippe (closest serious mtn. bike trails to me) until next Spring, since they close end of Oct. to allow hunters to use the land. :(
HOLY MOSES HE IS A WINNER!! You go girl. That is very awesome. :DQuote:

Get with it, Salsa, I can't properly obsess over things if you won't show me the new bikes!!! Whaaaaaah...I want to see official photos and specs and things! :p:o
Ooh, the site is down for "planned maintenance," now!
*spins in chair* *levitates* :eek:
Ohhh noooo! But THAT means they are updating it with your desired information :cool:Quote:

Shopping for them is almost as much fun :)
Oohhhhh....Salsa's site is up..homer drool:D Only thing I want from Surly is their Krampus. Salsa's Beargrease is tempting though same with their new Mukluk. I'd have to sell mine to get the new one though.
Woot on the new bike!
I was lusting over the Beargrease until our LBS friend told us that it's not worth the $3k. He said it doesn't feel all that much lighter than the regular Mukluk, so he didn't feel it was worth the asking price for a bike that doesn't feel less bulky. I SO want that orange Mukluk 3, though! A fat bike is almost certainly my N+1 once my El Mariachi comes. Then there isn't anywhere I can't go by bike here in MI!Quote:
