More of That Magic Elixir!
Still feeling a bit under the weather, but I had enough various cold meds pumping through me to pull off a nice 1:55 single track ride tonight.
Despite still feeling a bit sudsy in the head, the legs felt pretty spanky. I guess that comes from the past week's minimal "real" ride time.
Couple quick observations from the ride: The new Lake 230s are the shit so far. Super comfy. A long race (which is coming fast) will be the real test.
Tonight was the first time I EVER rode with glasses that I didn't want to chuck them into the weeds! In other words- the Tifosi Q3's rock! Vision was great, and it felt so good diving into to some of the sphincter tight corners at Boyce and NOT have to worry about a thorn bush ripping my eyeball out of it's socket. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Oh well time to guzzle some cold medicine and sleep. Might take a sick day tomorrow to finally rest and try to kick this cold in it's snot filled balls.
Found this sweet 08 product via Trek/Fisher product launch,

That frame is beautiful.
I listened to a pod cast of the Trek/Fisher launch. They talked price on the FS model ($6500!!) but no talk of the HT price.
The frame is sweet, it's no Salsa Mamasita though! ;)
Seriously the fork is what intrigues me the most. Glad to see Fox FINALLY pump out a 29er.
I'm still hesitant of full carbon mountain bikes (that I'm paying for) I think (and I'm not just saying this because I'm getting one) that the Mamasita from Salsa or similar bikes from (Van Dessel, Ellesworth, etc.) are better value.
Since they add carbon where it matters to dull the trail (seat stays), and in Salsa's case keep the weight (and cost) down with a Scandium main frame.
I would NOT kick that Fisher out of bed for eating crackers as the saying goes though ;)
It does look damn sweet though!
j
I wonder if they'll take a trade in...... ?
JB,
Not happy are you. You should make your move now dude, you could probably get a big chunk back.
specialized will also be issueing a few machines in the world of 29ers
