Any Mountain Bikers on this forum?

Brought home a 2013 Giant Revel 0 today! Even managed to squeeze out a quick ride up and down a small trail behind my house. I had an absolute blast on this thing; it's an absolute monster. Can't wait to try it on some faster trails. Here she is:

I ride a little bit. Usually allaire state park or hartshorne. I prefer my 26 inch tires as I like to get air and eat ****. Nice looking hard tail though. Oh and I ride a fully from wal-mart :rofl: Best $100 ever.

[BonzoHansen]

I think Mike does

My cousin has a old $100 26" fully. Those things weigh a ton!

No kidding. I'll have to ask him about that if he doesn't chime in here. Thanks for the heads up.

I rarely ride mine anymore, but I have a mid '90s Mongoose Hill Topper that I used to ride all over creation. Still have it, still in pretty decent shape

:rofl: No way my bro had one too! Still sitting in the parents' garage actually.

[Mike]

I do. Kind of fell off lately though

I used to hit trails a lot but now I keep to the roads more. It's been 2 week since I did a ride so I might head out today since it's sunny out. It's tough riding in shorts when it's 30 degrees out!

[WiMiMc]

I ride a lot of trails, nothing too extreme though. when it gets warmer I'm definitely going to be hitting up trails (I just got a new bike too).

[PolarBear]

I HAVE a mountain bike :lol:

Nice, bike I have an 08 Specialized Rockhopper 29er. If you ever get a chance to go ride in DE check out White Clay.

[FlyingDutchman]

I have an '07 Kona Scrap that I used to ride everywhere, not so much in college. Used to bomb down cannonball trail in Ramapo a lot. Hopefully after I graduate in the spring I'll find some more time to get back out there.

I'm a road guy really, but sometimes the traffic in Bergen County is just too annoying. When the weather warms up, I'm going to leave my bike at the office and ride up in Orange County NY. Roads are great and its just less crowded in general. For now, the bike is on a trainer in my living room. This is her:

B4C- I heard of white clay, I'm going to try and make it out there this year sometime. It's a hell of a trip from where I am but I hear it's gorgeous.

I did get out for about 45 minutes to an hour ride today. It was cold, but it was tolerable. It's actually been 3 weeks since I rode so I needed to get out. I just can't ride on the roller or trainers with a bike inside, it's just too boring.

[madness410]

I recently got interest in mountain biking because of some training I had to do for work. we went to allaire state park and it was an amazing time. come spring I'm going to invest a few hundred into a nice one and hit some trails. where does everyone ride?

[Mezzy]

This is completely false information, cannondales are 1 Canadian. And 2 made in china since 2009. So it's double foreign.
There are MANY small companies that still build their frames here.

Congrats, Jake! Shoot Ted a message - I know him, JP, and Sal ride mountain bikes occasionally.

I'm going to give it a try Saturday. I hope it warms up to at least 40 degrees or so. The trainer isn't so bad if you have company or a tv in front of you.

They were the last big company to build frames in America, though. Looking forward to getting a Van Dessel bike one of these days. A good ol New Jersey company.

Oh man, thanks for the heads up. I'll hit him up.
