Imagine a bike shop several times the size of a Costco... which does not include the wherehouse! They have a tire room that is larger than most complete motorcycle shops... they have a handlebar room... A HANDLEBAR ROOM!!! It was almost more than an average man can bear!!!


    Did you see the price tags? Somehow there is a Chapparal tax they slip in. But they do have every bike under one roof.

    AS, tell them about the guy that came over when he saw XGiant. I think you guys will be stocked how big XGiant is. I think I might have a picture of those two.

    Does California have some strange "Weight Limit" police? What "guy" are we talking about here?

    AS & XGiant -

    Thanks for the post and pix. I too wish I could have been there... (rather than dreamin' of sugar plumbs, I was dreaming of wide open So Cal trails!)

    XGiant is a big guy, but you guys don't have a full picture... yet.

    One of my fondest memories of college was seeing XGiant (with the long Sampson mullet) walking hand-in-hand with a pre-schooler from the College's day care program (XGiant was an Elementary Ed major). Wow! Now that's a sight! And, wish you guys could have FELT XGiant dunk a basketball! (Yes, FEEL! Forget rockin' the rim, how about the whole gym!)

    Kendall (XGiant) is a great friend, and like so many here, we've re-connected because of CRF'sOnly -- thanks, Ken!

    I'm looking forward to a full report from XGiant, ~, and getting out on a ride with you and your lovely wife in January. My wife can hardly wait!

    Sounds like I'll need to switch back to the 13T countersproket and try to get at least one ride in up here before heading south. (I've been riding the "goat" trails up here with the 12T, which I love, but don't want to be left too far in the dust down south ;)

    Merry Christmas, to all!
