Now get a load of this. Since I decided to hold off on getting that sweet RIP 9 bike a few posts down, my lust for a 29er was egged towards Santa Cruz Bicycles shortly after I heard rumors of them putting out a 29-inch bike this coming season. Well, a quick read on their blog and here it is - a real-life sample of what the bike will look like when it hits the market:
Well there it is. My new lust-interest. Not.
They're making this thing outta carbon fiber, according to their blog, which is fine, if you want (i.e. can afford) carbon fiber. I, on the other hand, don't necessarily want a carbon fiber bike, nor do I want to afford (i.e. go broke) one. Granted, the Niner is sweet. But Santa Cruz has been doing bikes for-ev-er and I was over-psyched to hear they're putting out a 29er. But guys? C'mon.....carbon fiber? Fkna.

Thanks. Change your blog and don't tell me. When I go to check up on you, wah wah wah, you're gone. Anyway, Seth got to do some sweet (well, sweet for amateur-him) mountain biking while we were in Utah. Pretty sure you should have introduced him to it sooner, we could still be living there. Bummer.

Nick, thank you for the words of kindness. If one were to look up 'fellowship' in the dictionary, your mug would be pictured. The OTM article is a throwback, and a great one at that. Now stop leaving comments on my blog and post on yours!
