New mountain bike
Well I took the plunge, made a pact with myself to get in shape and got a new mountain bike.
I got a Mordo modified Dunlop 249 series in Sunfire red. It is 18 Speed witha 29" frame. I bought it on Thursday night with some of the money I had set aside to go to the Yotajam.
As usual though I ended up spending almost as much on accessories as I did on the bike :pat: I got a rack that fits on my 2" reciever ( with a padlock to keep the bike in the rack and a locking hitch pin to keep the rack on the truck) and a matching helmet, gloves and of course a good cable lock.
I went out on one of the trails near my house the first night and did about 2km then got up early Friday morning for another run, then a short trail at lunch time.

Kinda off topic...
I saw on Ripley's Believe It or Not on TV today that a guy named Eric went 107 MPH on a mountain bike. He wiped out due to mechanical failure. I could not believe his injuries were not more severe. He had several broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder and some scrapes and cuts.

I'm suprised he's still alive.

Congrats on the new bike Mack
! I bought my Trek a few years ago, but just started getting serious about mountain riding this summer and I absolutely love it
!
I was wondering how the guy got his bike to go 107? Was he being pulled by something or what
?

What kind of componets were spec'd with it?
I am thinking of upgrading my '02 StumpJumper Pro for a Titus Racer X or a Titus SwitchBalde.... both in the mid $3500 range and worth ever cent!

WOW!! What a difference 3 years makes!
The 29er movement has moved from the fringes into the mainstream in the MTB world. I have owned 3 29ers, a Speedgoat Asylum, Titus Exogrid Racer-X 29er, and a Exogrid hardtailed single speed 29er.
Sorry to bump up old threads but I just had to...
