hey trekhawk...i don't have much more to add to what has already been said but i just wanted to say "HI"!!!!

i have been lurking more than posting sounds like you are having fun with my "ernie's" little twin i kinda roll over things with ease without knowing much how i am doing it...reading these responses may help in the looooong rooty/rocky climbs that i am encountering more and more here in the north carolina mtns...

you girls have fun in those california hills...i hope to make it back to my ole' stompin grounds someday and maybe i will roll with you on the trails

happy riding!!!!
