Needs some raw ti crank arms and chain ring to really bling it out.

@rickybobby19: It was then, between violent sobs and gritty tears that a bright light flashed out and the spirit of Steve Peat appeared before me. "Rickybobby19! Giddup ya silly cunt en start actin like ah man!" "Steve Peat?!? You're... you're.. dead?!?" I stood there starstruck and a little freaked out. "O'course naught ya daft bastard! Ah learned how ta teleport while racin' Les Gets in '99. How do ya think ah beat Cedric so bad?? I just popped in from me home in Sheffield to give ya some proper advice" "You're going to tell me what size bars I need." Finally. The time had come. "No ya sackless nesh! Ah came to tell ya ta git up ahn stop yer sobbin ya sorry sod." He turned and over his shoulder said to someone on the other side of the bright light "Daft as a brush, this one." and then with a great schralping noise, a flash of light, and what sounded like Loosedog laughing somewhere on the other side of the light, he disappeared. I was again alone with the sounds of the forest and more unanswered questions than I had started with.

I think the AON guys are a little fashion conscious. They're covering everything up with a fairing and side panels

I'm one of those parents. If the geo is right and the suspension works well, I'd consider it over worrying about a new bike every two years for the next 6 years or so. Depends on the price.

My 9 year old is on his way to bumping up to "adult wheel sizes". This bike has my attention.

Dad with kids on 20" and 24" full suspension bikes- I wish more with bottle mounts exist. Until this article I only knew of Marin and Transition that fit a bottle in their 24" offerings and zero on the 20" side(i get it, the packaging is tough)

Put baby on swingarm of mountain bike. What could possibly go wrong?

For some reason all of my ballast does not resist being moved up and down over bumps.. it just kind of jiggles instead.

That. I decided I wouldn't push them when they tell me they don't want to ride. It never happened. Both used to cry when I stopped and pulled them off the Mac ride. Now one is two years into racing dh/enduros at 8 years old and the other just started racing and loves going on long rides as long as I bring a towhee at 5. I'll take them riding as long as they're asking me to. I won't buy them a tablet when they're older but oh boy did the score the right dad when they tell me they need a sick new kit or fancy pedals.

Reminds me of when Intense used to do special edition F1 paint jobs on their DH bikes.
