Love the Karate monkey, and a friend has pugsley that I think is amazing. Alas, I can't justify such a fancy bike when all I do is commute - in good weather, I am in NC the weather is always comparatively good - but I will continue to live vicariously through you. thanks. <br /><br />POAdventure Otakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215628711923335166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-2799675319864808332011-10-15T18:49:06.694-06:002011-10-15T18:49:06.694-06:00ALRIGHT !!!..."she's all ready for anothe...ALRIGHT !!!..."she's all ready for another trip down the Great Divide."

It's not like I would burst into tears if I sold one. It's just sometimes fun to write about bikes as though they were actually companions. <br /><br />Jamie — It's a 32x20, a good ratio for climbing (also good for a high-RPM spinning workout on the flats.) In Montana and here in California, most of my rides involve long 2,000+ foot climbs, so the lower gearing works best for me.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1762824290107527312011-10-15T08:59:18.550-06:002011-10-15T08:59:18.550-06:00Great post Jill, Cool to hear a woman talk about ...Great post Jill, Cool to hear a woman talk about the bond that develops between a rider and machine.<br /><br />I know what you mean about hard to let go. I still have my 1990 Diamond Back Apex that was my first real mtb. 22 years now I've been dragging that thing around.<br /><br />Earlier this summer I read Be Brave, Be Strong on my Kindle.
