Hippie has a new ride

[pinkpanda3310]

Thanks PBO I'll check out the forum. I'm definitely thinking a dually 'cause 200 odd kilometers on tracks and dirt roads my butt will be sore enough from pushing pedals

I don't know the names of the frames, Brian, but I was thinking some sort of crosscountry/endurance style. Not keen on a downhill frame as they tend to be heavier. Thumb changers are the way to go IMO. I didn't know some shocks are adjustable, sounds fun to play with. Also, I hadn't considered discs benfits like that.

Thanks for the replies. It'll be some time before I end up with a bike but I'll keep on the lookout now.


Edit: On the forum you linked, PBO, i found some vids of the race - http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/show...31#post2461431
