Bikes!!!! (MTB, Road, etc... just no motors)

I looked at a Trek Fuel EX7 up close and personal today. Looks great, my heart is really into the idea, but just not sure if my hip is ready for riding yet.

I know it's only been 7 months, but I wish everything would heal faster.

Since its not like running impact, I would think biking would be ok. Granted if you're going on rough trails, that negates the impact thing.

Random question.....How good are Santa Cruz full susp MTB bikes? I'm sure it is hard to say without a certain model name. I ask due to the fact I saw this bike in the shed of my friends rental house. We were thinking it is the owners so today I shot the owner an email inquiring about the bike.

From a quick look it has Shimano Deore(sp?) components, non shimano crank, hydraulic disc brakes, Fox rear shock, and a super beefy looking front susp. The front susp reminded me of a dirt bike triple clamp style susp.

Maybe the owner will say that it is the previous tenants bike that they left over or something she forgot about and I could pick it up on the cheap.

BTW...the lady/property owner that gave me the bike is smoking hot! If I could get her to date me I would be the happiest guy in the world, lol. Sadly she has a guy

lulz.....need sleep?

either that, or the contacts are definitely in need of a change... - maybe she gave you the bike because she's looking for a new man

 

[Nomar06]

haha....I hope so but doubt it. Worst of all (IMO) is that the dude lives in Cleveland. Atleast that's what I have been told....she is ALWAYS flying out there.


On the bike.....I just have to see what frame size it is. Hopefully I can use it.

How good are santa cruz bikes? well they are some of the best around no matter the frame! I had a SC chameleon hard tail and heckler FS both rocking Fox shox i really miss my chameleon i still regret selling it...Mountain biking is big around here both fox shox and santa cruz bikes (obviously) and also specialized are based around here.
If you scored it for free you are sitting pretty because you are looking at several grand + for a FS santa cruz.

Plus the head of Santa cruz bikes is none other than legendary santa cruz skateboards skater Rob Roskopp (you should see his garage full of bikes along with a nice Porsche turbo)
