    new mtb

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I just bought my first mtb, a Kona Cinder Cone. Rode some today. I think it will be good just to break up the monotony of a road bike not to mention the different physical aspect of mtb (which I know nothing about right now). Oh boy!!!!

    Congrats on your new ride! I, too, love my mtn bike for breaking up the routine. I only ride it in the off season (I'm too prone to crashing and during the tri season I don't want to risk injury), but I look forward to it every winter! It's also nice to be on the trails in the winter when the cold wind blows- so much warmer and protected than the open road.

    Got any pictures of your new, sweet ride?

    MTB is so much fun! Hit the trails! It really makes you better to ride a mtb technically so that you don't fall when someone else does something silly on the road

    not to mention it makes your pedal stroke much more efficient

    congrats!!

    Pics of the bike. I'm really not color blind, I already had the pink bag.

    Gorgeous bike! I love the color! But yeah, I'd probably go with a basic black seat bag. They're cheap. ENJOY!!!!
