Well, I'm glad I could be a catalyst for ya j944! Looking at all the nice expensive bikes posted on here I feel like small fish with my crappy old diamondback xl, like I should just ride with the neighborhood kids with it! :rofl:

I suffered from a pedal breaking earlier too, which made that trail interesting... now I gotta go to the bike shop and get some better pedals.... Oh well.

I do a fair amount of MTB but I'm always looking for new trails. I'm still stubbornly clinging onto a hardtail with a fairly decent but not great front fork. Weasel, your bike might be simple but it has a better fork than my Marin!

I feel like if I really want to get serious about it, I might spring for something over $1k next time and perhaps a full suspension. I really want to find a way to brush up my skills too.

Raced a bit 20 years ago, but just into spirited riding now a days. Currently ride a Cannondale Synapse Carbon.

Chile: I noticed the Wolf SL fork in this shot, below. Did you change it out as part of the Cervelo recall? Not sure if it is just an old photo.
