What you say is very true - one persons black route is anothers gentle descent.
I can't afford to have multiple bikes so I ride a 100/120mm dual suspension bike with fat tyres and a short stem. Most of my riding is short - less than 40km trails like Tokai with some of the easier dh sections thrown in which I ride as fast as I can.
If I do a marathon again, I'll pop the old stem back on, some lighter tyres and off I'll go.
My first bike was a steel Giant atx 760 in 1994 - it had a sus fork, canti brakes and I rode it into the ground. I'd hate to go back to that bike, but an updated steel frame, disk brakes and even a ridgid fork would be an experience indeed. I am just not sure I need that experience enough to shell out the moola for the Ritchey, good as it seems to be.
