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:

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

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!

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).

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.

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.
