    Titus Report....First Ride

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    So I rode her both Sat and Sunday and all I can say is.....

    I had no idea.
    I had no idea a ride could be this great. It is not just the weight difference of 6+ pounds off of my other bike. It is the whole package of better fit, and components, and weight. She fits, she is light, she is fast, she is nimble. She is awesome....

    I just had no idea......

    That's fantastic!! It's great when you get a good mix between rider and bike. Makes you realise how much you were let down by your bike before!!

    Sweet! I see those roots I love (haha) so much on that trail -- looks like the ones around here.

    So glad you had a good maiden voyage on your beautiful Racer-X. I'm such a new mountain biker (barely staying upright on the "beginner" trails) that I'm completely unworthy of mine, but she rides so nicely, and I am so glad not to have to haul 34-lbs (what mine weighed with seat bag) of hardtail up those trails -- or over the many, many roots.

    Great pic!

    Nice!

    Congratulations on loving your new bike. I'm another happy Racer-x owner of the non-expert rider type.

    I just took my racer-x through a mud trial by fire. Everybody was pushing their bikes by the end becaues the bikes were so jammed with mud. I was concerned what the mud would do. After a several hour cleaning project she's running like a charm. (Whew!)

    Hope you have many happy miles.

    Great pic .................thanx for sharing it with us, you look great on your bike, beginning to dislike you already ( ).

    I understand how you feel about your bike, I got mine back yesterday after a really good service, lots of new bits plus a new Post Moderne Bracer suspension seat post. Went for a short ride last night and the bike almost felt part of me.

    Keep posting your pics, they are great to see.

    Great picture. Don't you just love climbing on single track? Just when you think you can't keep going you find the strength to pull up over that root or rock and get to the top!
