Thanks – I am headed to Dupont next weekend for 3 days! Can’t wait. Pray for good weather!
Point well taken (the getting old part)! It’s hard to “read between the lines” and you’re the first to stress that (what I think you’re saying) is that modern bikes – although heavier – carry more momentum, and you can maintain that momentum through gnarlier terrain rather than having to slow down and pedal back to speed. Sort of a six/half dozen of the other thing.
OP here – Wow, great feed back – thanks y’all! I love my bike and wouldn’t sell it – I guess I wish I could have my cake and eat it too(fast, light, cheap, capable…). You won’t ever see me in a full-face helmet 🙂 My buddy is looking to upgrade to a bigger bike from a 26″ SC Heckler – he lives in (relatively flat) Charleston, SC. So we’re going to rent some LLS bikes in Pisgah so he can try a variety of bikes (something I shoulda done!) Also, I just saw a youtoob of a 17 yr old kid at Copper Canyon in Mexico flying on a $150 hardtail, and any concerns about my bike instantly vanished!
