After six years of riding on flat sandy trails down in the Fort Lauderdale area I am living in NJ, again. I am born and raised in NJ and quite happy to be back. I would consider myself and intermediate or advanced beginner rider. I have been riding for a while but I need to take my riding up a notch.
Excited to get out there and ride with you guys!
I ride a Mountain Cycle San Andreas. I thought my bike was pretty cool till some youngins at a bike shop in the Hamptons asked how old it was and if I ever considered getting a new bike! Turned out to be a bad day of biking. My buddy broke his collar bone while we were riding out a Hither Hills.
So... I decided to upgrade all of the components. OK, so the components were all about 10 years old! It was time. I am still in the process of getting my parts together:
Parts Purchased:
Shimano XT Crankset
Shimano XT V Brake Levers
SRAM 990 Cassette
Shimano XTR M970 Front Derailleur
Need to Purchase:
Shimano XTR 972 Shadow Rear Deraileur
Shimano XTR M970 Shifters
Chain
I think I will powder coat the frame while I am at it. Anyone have a good place to have the frame done??
Next year will be disk brakes, wheels and a new fork....
So as of now the bike is off the road and I will hopefully have it back in action soon!
Looking forward to getting to meet up with you guys!
