Horsethievery

A few weeks ago, a new toy arrived in the mail from Salsa. 5" of cushy travel for downhill ripping. A moderately long wheelbase for incredible stability. A moderately steep geometry for surprisingly good needle threading capabilities. I'm still waiting for the proper fork, so the build isn't quite what it should be yet, but who wants to have a new frame just sitting around for weeks on end, begging to be built? I sure didn't.

At the local proving grounds under a splendid late afternoon sun.

New bike, new views.

Dan is selling his Yeti. He wants more travel. And he should put his chain on before beginning this descent.

2200' up, steep enough to make the leg burn. Then 2200' back down, steep enough to make me grin. I ran into the trail's creator on his way down, and he had recently raked the upper part of the track, so it was in prime shape.

No action shots yet...this bike is too much fun to want to stop and pull out the camera!
