Mountain Biker Falls Into 15' Deep Trench

New Bike! 2012 Motobecane Fantom Pro 29er

Been looking to transition over to the 29" wheels for about a year and a half now, and finally decided to pull the trigger.  Sold my Giant Trance X2 and picked up this one; 2012 Motobecane Fantom Pro 29er!  

I love the way this bike feels, and do not miss rear suspension at all.  This baby is buttery smooth and climbs better than any bike I have ever ridden!!

Just Finished Some Upgrades!

Decided to get myself a few early Christmas presents this year!

WTB Silverado Saddle

The old Speed V was falling apart, and a hanging staple got caught on my shorts during my last ride, which scared the crap outta me.  Ordered this when I got home lol!

CatEye Strada Wireless Computer

Always wanted to invest in one of these, and after doing research (and getting a price-match) I got this bad boy!

Hand-built Mavic 317 Rims / Shimano Deore Hubs / DTS Spokes

My old no name Wheelset + Hubs were always on my upgrade list, just never got around to it.  Well, I finally got around to it LOL!
