Im lovin it. Never thought my next ride would be a rigid ss, but after researching and remembering my 26er rigid ss I had 5 years ago, I had to try it again...this time with 29" wheels and huge 2.4 and 2.35 tires. I have put almost 70mi on it this first week!

Nice bike and good write-up on the selection process. When I first read your signature, I briefly thought, "wow, he's an organ transplant recipient".

Thanks Dan!

Yeah, I haven't had an organ transplant, but I have been born again. I guess you figured that part out though?
