What's worse than muddy trails?

Muddy trails you can't ride on a new bike!

Just picked it up yesterday. 06 Ridge, Talas 32, blah, blah blah. right around 25 lbs. Built up as a SS- 32/18_ should be the perfect blend of slack geo., long travel and light.......

Nice looking bike, did that come from Milford Bicycle?

I'll tell you what's worse than both of those...

Assholes who decide to ride the trails regardless:

I picked the frame up at Milford Bike and had Jeff and Dane build it up last week. Hopefully with this warm snap the trails will start to firm up in a few weeks, otherwise I may need to take a ride to the Cape or Southern Ct

Holy Crap that's a nice looking bike.

Whatcha got going on for gearing and tensioner etc. etc??

Thanks man. Cranks are Truvativ Stylo 1x1, Surly 18 rear cog with a Gussett Tensioner ( no springs to mess with just bolt it onto the rear dropout and go), wheels are Easton Havoc AM. I am pumped with the build, this is my first 100% new bike in probably 10 years LOL!

you need an Eno hub for that sucker! Enjoy!
