Too small mtn bike = shoulder/back issues...?

[zoom-zoom]

I don't know much about off-road, but couldn't you ride your Redline for now?

If we weren't so sandy around here I probably could, but the brakes are not at all good for stopping well (they're good for CX races, but steep hills with loose stuff at the bottom, less so) and I think I'd really miss the front suspension. It's great for 2-track gravel and packed sand roads, though!
