I couldn't wait until spring. We started work on updating Baloo this past weekend (2005 Rockhopper). I tried a few handlebars and am going with a bianchi 1.5" carbon fiber riser bar. The brakes were switched so the front brake is on the right hand, and my new ergon wsd hand grips are ready and waiting! We'll finish this up this weekend because I ran out of cable for the rear shifter and brake.

Next will be the new seatpost. Haven't decided on which suspension one to get - any ideas?

Renee, I'll be down in Madison the weekend of October 7th. If you'll be around pm me.

I'm getting so excited!!
