I know a few of you have offered to go out with me and let me try one of your bikes and would like to take you up on that. This would give me a change to try some different bikes out on the trails and meet some fellow bikers. PM me with a date and time that will work for you and I will see if I can coordinate that time away from the family.

Thanks, Greg
You're right, maneuverability is sacrificed slightly on the 29er. I do stress, SLIGHTLY. Like Bexter said, I feel smoother on my 29er, which equates to more confidence. As others have offered, you are welcome to ride any of my bikes as well. If you want to ride every different bike known to man though, get with AG! I suggest you bribe him with a 6-pack of something dark
