Blur LT




Seven years is a long time to wait for a new mountain bike, so when the time comes you may as well make it sweet.
This years Talas RLC and RP23 both work very well. Thanks to Zach for the shock tip.

that looks like it was worth the wait carp. have you had it out yet?

Carp said...

Yeah. It's good, real good. Going from a fully rigid 34x17 to travel and gears is wierd though.

Holy schnikies! That thing is pimp. Carp, you gotta be stoked. How is the new XTR. Worth the ridiculous price?

dude, i am very disappointed.

i just found out about a square wheelset that I hear is supposed to make mtn biking wicked hard.

sweet looking bike. that thing would eat the trails up down here.

The new XTR is good. It took me two rides to get the shifting dialed, but if you know me wrenching never was my strong suit. I really like the 31.8 carbon bar. I don't know if the XTR is worth the price. I got a great deal on the bike. Around $4K for everything; hand built King/Mavic wheels and Fox stuff included. That's still a ton of cash but I haven't bought a mountain bike in 6 years since I bought Soto's TiLite so I had the need for a sweet ride.

I fucking hate you! Errr...maybe hate is too strong of a term? I love you as a person but if you were as tall as me I would push you out in front of a speeding garbage truck and steal that thing. Good game,

nice ride carp. if you only do one bike every seven years, that's a good one to have to spend the next seven years with.
