Su-si-day, sox-a-bi (Hi, how are you ? in Khmer)
I am in Cambodia at the moment, and have been thinking about another bike for when I get back to Aus.
I am looking to get a Salsa Spearfish. An HT is out, my back would hate me (riding a 26" HT over here now and I tolerate it 'cause I have to), I like the concept of the simpler rear suspension, albeit I understand you suffer a lack of small bump compliance because of it.
I had a Specalized Epic 29" duallie, hated it and managed to sell it fairly quickly with nearly no loss but never enjoyed riding it.
I am looking at doing a few longer rides, lots of firetrail, 4wd road etc. I have my own single track, on my own land to enjoy single track with my 26" Santa Cruz Blur LT
I am 185cm, and a bigger bloke, mid 40's. I am never going to be a 24hr god nor do I want to but am hoping to up the fitness levels with longer 50km+ rides and maybe some overnight rides.
I will never have the chance to test ride anything so have no real choice but to buy sight unseen.
