I have one of those too, '01 mesa disc. I ditched the Jett for a Fox Vanilla, made a huge difference. Also went clipless on the pedals, otherwise it is still stock. Although, I am going full suspension soon, hopefully this week when my bike finally shows up.

Also a newbie to the RM forums, not a newbie when it comes to bikes.
This is a great site--endless forum topics.

Well..Im a newbie to RM, and an intermediate rider...mostly XC...and newbie to DH and Freeride...I ride a MongooseXR150, with a few mods and upgrades...its a kickass bike, bang for buck...
but I am shopping Kona and Rocky Mountain and Giant...to try and pick out what to move up with. Kinda leaning toward Kona at the moment.

Peace

Welcome Dave! Didnt include you in the last post as you might have a hell of a commute to VT. Last but not least! If you can make the trip, it'll rock!

Airborne, thanks for the invite. Myself and Mecannoman would certainly be tempted.
Last summer we did the trip to Mt. Washington via Maine and any back road we could find.
Might not be in our budget this year, but who knows?:cool:
