After two months of deliberating with myself, I took the family into Ben's Cycle and ordered a new mountain bike. A Milwaukee Bicycle Company 29er. Should be a couple of weeks before she comes in, but extremely excited. Went with a full rigid 29er with a 1x9 drive train. Matching color on the frame and fork. Cream City is what they call it. Can't wait to get back on the trails. Day one complete...a few cravings but managed my time. Just kept up with some busy work.
Five are hired off the list. Still waiting to see what happens regarding the budget. Hoping to get made before the headaches start. Technically, I'm two out, but another HEO hung it up last week so just wait and see.
Intended parts list for the MBC 29er
- Sun Ringle Black Flag Comp wheelset
- Maxxis Ardent, Beaver or Ikon tires
- CrankBrothers Candy 3 pedals
- CrankBrothers Cobalt 2 stem & handlebar
- Brooks B17 Standard saddle & grips
