   Mountain biking!
  I just picked up one of these lightly used.  Specialized's custom Brain works as incredibly as advertised--stand up and pedal hard, and the back doesn't bob at all.  But roll off a curb, and you get full plush action.  The thing that really gets me is how unearthly light this thing is for a mountain bike.  I've never had a carbon frame before.  I'm beyond excited to get out and ride it all over Park City's trails this summer.Anyone else here into mountain biking?   
  I just did a custom midrange build with this as the frame. I like to keep it old school with the hardtail.   ;  I drive this one: http://www.bergwerk-bikes.de/big.php?model=mercury_slAlso I just got these. Best 50 Euros I ever spent on my bike. Not the slightest feeling of numbness even after 5 hours of driving.   ;Quote:Original post by mikescAlso I just got these. Best 50 Euros I ever spent on my bike.

I haven't had it out since this past fall, but I plan on biking to work (about 15 km each way) for a few months in the summer.  Not the most glorious of bikes, but it does the job.  Had I had the chance to go back and do it all over again, I would have gone for a Specialized Hardrock or something similar.
