i have...

taken down my 'good riding' links. i've been called a purest. which means a lot to me. i am. change is fine, as long as it is for the right reasons. as long as it makes sense. but for the life of me i cannot figure out what in the hell moots is doing. both of their full suspension bikes have an aluminum rear end. why?; i scream to zeus. if i'm dropping that much dosh on a moots it better full ti, and nothing less. that shepard as lost a lamb. i'm just really happy that i got my smootie before they stopped production on them; which hasn't seen a ride yet this year. i'm thinking that i'm an idiot for picking that bike up, but that's my cross to bear. anyway...maybe this is in part why kent eriksen left, but it looks like he's using an al rear end too.

so why pay the price of a ti bike when it isn't a full ti bike? just pick up an al, or steel at a cheaper price. or i guess the big thing now is a full carbon bike; which i'm sure rides great, same price as something like a full ti. so maybe that's what making the full ti obsolete now.

so what's the point? i still believe in vicious; great stuff. it looks like no one is using full ti on any full suspenion bikes anymore, oh well. i'm glad i got mine...i think...

ride on...
