Upgraded to the teeth, 17' Giant Roam "hybrid"... lol .

I just upgraded yestertidy, to a practically new 2019 Norco Fluid Ht2. Feller purchased it new last year, rode it twice, decided it wasn't for him. He wanted my roam for light xc/gravel/commuter, so we did a bike swap, flipped a few parts over, and i payed the cash to boot. Rocking n' rolling now baby!

first realish mountain bike was a Raleigh Exage back in 1991. I added an early suspension fork (made by girvin i believe) but she was pretty hefty, although not heavy enough as some scumbag lifted it off the back of my car in 1993.

Moved on to a 1993 GT RTS-1 that was all the shit back then. 6061-T6 aluminum frame that still weighs less than some trail bikes today. Manitou M-sport fork with a whole 1 1/2 inch travel and rear travel of maybe 1 1/8, and Full XT components....Still have it too, overhauled and polished and on display in my man cave.
