got asylum #1 this past weekend, and will get #2 this friday as dan the man is coming out to the ohio region so we can head out to michigan and an 8 hour enduro going on out there.
bike rides really nice - very similar to my superlight of last year, but with the 29'r wheels. very quick through the corners, very quick accelerations, very quick with the handling -- all something my k monkey was not. oh, and it is about 10 pounds lighter than that bike too. that could have something to do with it.
quickie on the bike:
sram all around, trigger on the rear and twisty on the front. xtr wheels with ceramic bearings are superfast. fox shock on the rear is nice, and the new pop lock rock shox has going on the reba will work pretty cool. liked the lever they had last year which was similar to a thumbie, but didn't like it when i crashed bad at worlds and snapped the thing off -- and didn't have a tool to disconnect the cable from the fork because my allen wrench set didn't have a size that small... dah...
gotta run - have to drink up some hot nectar from the coffee gods and then off to do the work thang'.
