Saw the title was by Phil and most responses were from Caleb...I was really worried about what the topic was.

that is yummy brother! Turned out cracken!!

I will start anther thread in a couple of hours that will make up for you let down.....

Sweet 29er Caleb. That's a really good looking bike.

I got a 2016 left over Sc0tt Genius Phil. There are a few more pics in my Strava. I totally love it but even at half of MSRP it still costed me more than the car I am currently driving. It's the 710 model with a carbon fiber frame and Al chain stay. It's not a plus bike but it's close now. I replaced the rims with some wide WTB ASYM i35's and I put a 2.5 WTB Breakout in the front and a 2.4 Vittoria Goma in the back. I put the new carbon fiber fat bars and stem on tonight. It weighed 27 lbs when I picked it up. Don't have a scale so i'm not sure what it weighs now but sure it gained at least a pound from the bigger tires and rims.

Thanks Alex, not bad yourself! Those S cott bikes are awesome.

That thing is awesome....hydo brakes too. Man that is a fine machine buddy. The rare occasion I am allowed to get a new bike I always get it in the fall and get a great deal on last years model. Brand new but 1/2 the price and most companies only change colors from year to year anyways. No better way to go!!!

Nice set up!

Why not just ride in the snow doughnut?

Well honestly i am a big sissy. Our trails are all paved and riding a snow and ice covered paved trail sucks to crash on. So I stopped riding until trails are clear. City actually does plow and sweep sll 29 miles of city bike trail until January 1st. Big deal to ride the New Years day ride here if you can tolerate the -5 degrees. Its a lot of fun but after then no
Maintaining for obviously good reason of cost. So i go to tje gym and ride on a trainer.
Indoor riding does suck but scenery is always good.

Wonderful looking bikes gents, ride and enjoy :)

Making me want to get a new bike, mine doesn't shift anymore and the rear wheel bearings are bad.. Looking into it, may be cheaper to buy a new bike vs repair a 20 year old Raleigh..

I have a good Motobecane that needs a little TLC and a new suspension fork, so I need to get it fixed sooner than later, and get the wife a new bkie! I don't ride much in Orlando, too hot and people drive crazy!
