Ya he's pretty amped. Huge upgrade for him. He's always trying out my bikes and he's no dummy. He figured out long ago that Dad's bikes were better than his . So much guilt on the trail. something had to be done.

 @SilverCreek:

 Thanks man! He rides it like it should be ridden!

 @SilverCreek: good man!

 its my son's. He's 13 and turning into a bit of a ripper. I broke down and had to get him a decent bike. I felt so guilty on our rides watching him tear it up on his little entry level norco with 100mm coil boing boing fork. We made a deal and he's working part of it off for the next long while! Good deals on the buy and sell to be had if you're patient.

 @SilverCreek: rad dad award

 Cheers Red! Very "working man's build" Might put some gnarlier rubber on it at some point.

 @SilverCreek: Well, this is a good start, I hope to see your son on the sexiest thread someday

 @RedOctober: Ha. Yep when he's man enough I'll introduce him to the secret society of hardtail aficionados
