Jess, that's awesome! Can't wait to see the pics!
Indy, it's a personal thing, and I think that it depends a little on the bike too. My singlespeed has wider bars (~26") than my geared bike (~24") for more leverage... DH, on the other hand, runs 28" bars on his single!

Ok, well I have been trying to log in to Flickr to upload the photos there, but since it keeps telling me to sign in with my "woeijowigangorgabiugaweiof" ID, rather than jessmarimba, I have an odd feeling that my account has been compromised.

I give up. TE won't even let me upload attachments, for some reason. I think I am technologically cursed tonight.
For those of you sketchy about following blind links, I just sent you to the public link for a facebook album. Enjoy!

Neato, Jess! I hope it's all that you've been wanting in a MTB! What kind of fork is that? I can't see it very well in the pictures.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
