I told them what I liked and dislikedin my bikes.<br /><br />The question I asked them was if they could come up with a bike that could combine these characteristics into one. <br /><br />None of them could unfortunately. So I have to come up with the angles and stuff like that but I want them to advice me on this as they are the professionals. <br /><br />I'll let it rest for now and decide what bike I like best.<br /><br />I'll be happy to follow this tread though!Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076590407395484104.post-69169786294924671842009-09-15T15:05:05.525+02:002009-09-15T15:05:05.525+02:0029ers are actually surprisingly good.

I had my first ride on one a month ago and instantly you find yourself riding harder/faster than you normally do and soaking up the terrain along the way :-)tocsin_banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938969770318506740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076590407395484104.post-22003018372679592812009-09-15T10:49:36.701+02:002009-09-15T10:49:36.701+02:00Hi Dan,

I've thought about doing it with the super light Niner aluminum frame - or their carbon model.<br /><br />Would be a fun experiment.Dan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609122101907983132noreply@blogger.com
