Apr 22, 2002 3:39 PM | | Two machines, designed with the same purpose in mind and then maybe not.
At least the span of the arsenal is increasing. Next thing is to plug the hole between the roadbike and the monkey in the middle(not shown) with an CX bike. Monkey actually describes the climbing abilities of the YBB well. It took me one ride on the Id at Skeggs to understand that it climbs very well for what it is, but it ain't no lean, mean climbing machine. On the other hand, for bombing down Manzanita or Giant Salamander - whoa!
Gotta go - the kids have springbreak and I'm not working today or tomorrow. It's still 80 degrees outside and the pool is waiting.
See ya,

| What do you have against frames that fit? | James Burke

| I like small frames. As long as my butt, hands and feet... | Biking Viking

The Id isn't available in a bigger frame.
