Nice bike,the kids and myself were riding quite a bit till fishing took off,looking to get back at it since its cooling off. I need to get some pics of our bikes. All are older but we upgraded lots of parts along the way to make them more up to date.
My son and I ride 26s Mike, personally I don't like the 29s,just don't feel right to me lol. Looks like y'all were having a good time.
????Went to work, came home and helped my son with his 4H chickens, then finally got started grinding blades again. Finally received a backordered shipment of metal. Still got a few pieces of metal that are on backorder too. This one belongs to @CrystalRiver1

Its an outstanding car. It exceeds all expectations. Its truly amazing at speed with handling. There is no doubt it was built to race on a track. I have a tendency to get bored with vehicles historically and was thinking of selling it out right and not replace it. Wife says no though. She drives it actually more than I do.
Thank you. I work for a shop, so I get good deals on bikes. If I wasn’t I wouldn’t be riding an S-Works. Lol
That’s nice! A friend of mine has the same bike. Same color too. LolI had a 29” and didn’t like it. Went a different direction and wouldn’t go back to a skinny tire MTB every again.

No sir,I really messed up that post.????
Is there another CrystalRiver1 on here...perhaps my "Evil Twin's Blade"???
I'm lost bro...
Yes sir they all shine in different areas. You know you can convert to the 1x set up on you bike right? My son and I bikes are set up 1x9 and works fine, actually makes it much easier finding and getting into the correct gear.

Yeah they get up there in price pretty high lol,talk about sticker shock. Mine is an older 2003 rocky mountain edge full suspension ,top of the line in the day. Found it on craigslist for 100$,was in very good shape though. Upgraded suspension fork to air, changed crank to 1x and did the stem and bars to wider setup. Rise nice to me for an older full suspension, which I don't do jumps anymore unless I have to because of a trail obstacle
I gotcha, you can do dropper posts on most of the older bikes as well. Gonna do one on mine soon. My bike is an 03 rocky mountain edge, one of the better full suspension bikes in the day. And yes a 29 would most likely fit you better for your size
I agree. Different wheel sizes for different riders and terrain. 26" wheels worked very well for me for a long time. Nothing wrong with that.
Rocky Mountain makes good stuff. I had a Slayer back in 2007-2008 I think. Was a great bike.
I'm sure a 29er would fit you great Mike, at your height. Dropper post is something that, when you first look at it, seems completely unnecessary, but once you ride one for a little bit you're hooked. Lol. The first dropper I ever rode was at Interbike in Las Vegas in 2010-2011, something like that, and I knew I had to have one as soon as I got back to the shop. I ordered one up, and never looked back.
It's a good bike for sure,in still try to locate some better tires,all I was able to find locally were the ones Walmart sells, I mean they work but feel way different in turns and things from the sidewall flex. I'm find some on Ebay but I can't get my hands on them before others do.

If any of you guys ever need parts or bikes, let me know. I can help you get good prices on most parts, and on the brands of bikes we carry.
