Well, yesterday I picked up the new MTB (Mountain Bike) from Little Ades in Pekin. First I need to throw out props to my boys at Ades, they are the best! To find a shop that has real MTB enthusiast with great mechanical knowledge and be very competitive on prices is super hard to find these days, and they fill that role amazingly well. Special thanks to Mike Antonini (owner) for his patience and making the phone call to his Specialized rep which may be the deal maker on a job for me at Spesh'.
Now on to the goods...the bike is awesome. The color is growing on me at every glance. I need to post of pic of the beast! On mtb's the weight is critical and directly effects your overall performance. My old bike was a whopping 42.5lbs, which is really heavy, but this new Specialized Stumperjumper Expert tips the scale at a scant 28.5lbs. To drop 14lbs off a ride is going to be amazing and should increase the overall performance greatly. Nick will stand NO chance in keeping up with me now! :p
I can't believe I'm typing this at 5:20am on a Saturday morning...WTF? I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep, so here I am. Whatever.
