Anyone mountain bike?

LeperousDust · 23-02-2008, 01:44

I'm sorely missing mountain biking atm due to about a million and one things that could go wrong with my bike and subsequent orders for new parts etc...
I hope i will be able to get it all sorted this tuesday(ish). Before i go into detail, anyone else mountain bike at all here?

Apparently not

My boss does but I don't own one myself.

Kind of....although I'm

to say my bike is WAY above my riding level, but I saw it in a shop window and HAD to have it

It's a 2004 Marin Mount Vision. Sitting in the shed having not been ridden for a while now. Need to start getting out in the evenings now it's getting lighter and start doing some long summer rides....looking forward to it

Just sold my bike

For about an eighth of it's value

Might get a cheapo Halfords job for the summer though, my Azonics was far too advanced for me now, plus I was too scared to leave it anywhere!

I've still got a passable bike but it is getting on a bit now and I haven't been riding properly for years now. I think Raymond Lin might be into MTBing or at least he had a pimped up bike last time I saw a picture of it.

Cool a few of us own decent bikes at least, means you may know what i'm talking about

I've got an '04 Spec Hard Rock with:
Mavic XC717 Disc rims with Hope pro II hubs - Got these second hand over last summer excellent deal
Shimano LX front rear mech and shifters - finally went 9 speed after getting a 9 speed cassette and deciding my front mech was totally worn out...
Avid Juicy 7 brakes & rotors Front 185 rear 160 - second hand from a friend who was getting rid, my first time on discs and i'm impressed!
Marzocchi Bombers MX pro sport ETA (or whatever they call them

) - only expensive thing i've bought *new* for my bike apart from replacing bent handlebars and mechs
Crank Bros candy SL's - love them they came as a deal with the wheels (eBay

).

My trusty bike is all up and running again now after a long hiatus and i can't wait to get uni work out of the way and get on with a bit of riding again... I'm worried at just how unfit i'm going to be again now though...

I have a mountain bike, whether it's seen any mountains in the last 12 months it's debatable.

Terrible mondo, if you made a trip to see me, i'd show you some mountains!

I'll ask my boss where he rides today as the places sound awesome and they're in North Wales I believe.
