Iteachstem Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 My first mountain bike was a GT that I had back in college( 90's) I destroyed that when I started getting airborne for more than a little curb hop. Then, I bought a trek 4900.... I replaced just about every part on that bike before retiring it to just an easy trail riding bike. Then, I built up a Jamis Komodo Frame (pictured).... that could actually handle what I was trying to do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Then I cracked the top tube of my frame.... and I was bummed.... until I found out that Jamis has a one time replacement warranty on their frames. Woo Hoo! So, this is my current frame/bike for the last bunch-o-years! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live outside of Waterloo, WI, home of Trek bikes. You would often see employees out riding on the roads around town. I loved it out there, except for the winters. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up riding bicycles and dirt bikes, then street bikes around 16, jet skis and quads are a lot of fun, performances karts are spectacular on a real road course, I was a licensed motorcycle road racer a few years back (at age 46) BUT NOTHING IS AS MUCH FUN TO RIDE AS A SNOWMOBILE!!
