Introducing Judy - my first MTB
To disable ads, please log-in.
Ladies, meet Judy, my first MTB. She's a pre-walmart 1998 Mongoose NX 7.5 Pro. Better than NOS, she's been upgraded to a 9spd drivetrain 12-36t cassette, new chain, shifters, cables, WTB Moto 2.3" tires, Shimano SPD's... I can't wait to get her on the trail tomorrow. I named her Judy partly because her fork is a Rock Shox Judy, and partly because that's my moms' name.
She's soooo shiny. I <3 her.

I sure have! Judy is stable steed; Nice and dependable, which is exatly what a Newb like me needs. The guys at my LBS says she can be converted to disc brakes - it has the places in the frame for them, but I do just fine right now with the V-Brakes. I have no desire to go over the handlebars any more than necessary

I honestly think that starting out mountain biking on a bike that doesn't have a ton of suspension and all the bells and whistles actually helps develop better riding skill. You have to pick your lines better and control your speed.
Have fun with it!Living life like there's no tomorrow.
