So it is a well known fact that I like my mountain bikes. I have owned quite a few different rigs, both hardtails and fully's. My latest addition is a Dark Cycles Scarab. This one is going to replace my 2003 Banshee Scream that I am now going to part out to help pay for my new toy.
The new rig is super overkill for riding in Ontario, but that's not the only reason for my purchase. Once our boler is all fixed up and is good to go I have 2 trips planned. One is to the world cup downhill race at Mont Saint Anna, the other is Crankworks over in Whistler. For these two legendary spots my good old scream would not be able to handle it appropriately. The new ride is full on cro-mo and has a full 8 1/2 or rear travel.
All I can say now is I can't wait for May 2-4, when most lift access downhill runs open around here. And I live between 2 great spots to ride. Just got to change things up on the rig and make it my own.
