You guys have such a cool forum. There is even a photoshop forum and there are parts forums and everything.:c2:



:new: I live near Santa Barbara which isn't far from LA, CA. I want a 90's silverado. I have a singletrack mind, I am always thinking about mountainbiking. When I get a truck, I am going to be taking trips to the desert to go mountain biking, dirtbiking, and of course wheeling with my friends. :truck:

Are there any mountain bikers here? I don't have a truck yet, but I have a bike.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. I used to do a little biking when I was stationed on Oahu, lots of fun, lots of work (which is probably why I gave it up.:lol: ).

Everyone here in Mississippi thinks I was insane for buying a Rocky Mountain Thin Air (back in 95 I think) with xt components, aluminum frame, rock shox front shock, race face cranks (that's all I can remember) for $1700.:crazy: It was a lot of fun coming off the mountain on that bike.

Mountain Bikes are expensive, but the fun is completely worth it. I like to jump off everything in sight.

Welcome to the forum dirt lover. I don't do mountain bikes, I'm more of a beach cruiser kinda guy. Regardless I like anything that looks like fun so your bike fits in....:cool:
