The Zen of the ride. Those rare moments when you, your bike, the location and the weather intersect and generate a truly memorable experience.

That first swallow of beer chasing away a bad case of humble pie after a poor finish in a race.

Agree. Even my SRAM & Pauls are excellent. A modern update on a classic

1. Klein, everthing about the brand rocks. They ride great, look great with the oversize tubing and superb paint options, the dolomite was the best of course!

2. Bullseye Hubs and cranks

3. Purple anodised stuff, Dia comp canti's love um!

3. XTR groupset, it looks great and works superb. Very low maintenance, and lightweight, what more could you ask for?

4. Overtaking DH bikers on their 700mm travel motor bikes without an engine, on my XC bike as they have to walk up the slightest of hills, best place is jump gulley at Swinley forest!, seriously its not even a hill!!!

5. Catching up with the group in front on a sportive to find out they were on the 30 mile route and you have just completed the 60 mile route.

6. Summer - warm weather, Girls on bikes in Lycra, we have some hotties in the club!!

7. MTB Racing, the buzz of competing

Thats my bike related stuff, the list could go on and on!!

oh and smiley faces and people who dont take forums too seriously! :roll: :evil: :twisted: :shock:

First things that pop into mind:

Breezer dropouts

Bikes that are actually functional and not just retro

Riding the trail over ranting the web
