welcome aboard Zac.
How do you like your Rock Lobsters? IMO, they have something special about them. Can't put my finger on it, I just like them when I see them.

I love them. In fact I mainly ride my Aluminum as an all year rounder. Plus Paul is a great guy!
Cheers, Zac

Who I am!
Zac:
Welcome! I'm one of the many that read a lot but don't jump into the conversation much. In checking out your new post, you noted your Ritchey P-650b. I've been struggling with getting a new MTB frameset and the Ritchey P-29er is at the top of the list. The old P21 was my dream bike when I first got into cycling in the 90's. Any thoughts or feedback on the Ritchey. Thanks, Kevin P.S. Ritchey has some new non-team colors coming for 2015.

Hey Kevin- I really love my Ritchey. I'd say it's perfect for the riding I do and what's available in Northern California. I built mine up with a 2x10 XT kit and, Ritchey Vantage Wheels (Tubeless) and a White Brothers Loop fork. One thing I was looking for was a touch more slack in the HT angle. So I had the fork spec'd to 120mm of travel rather than the recommended 100mm. This basically removed 1 degree from the headtube angle (though probably a bit less with sag). Now it climbs just as good, but maybe descends just a touch better. All built it probably weighs 26 lbs. Not too bad for a steel hardtail. The nice thing about the 2015 version is that they will have tapered head tubes. This will give you many more fork options.

Not to sound like a forum cop but there is a sticky up top of the same thread. I prefer to remain anonymous and spare you all of my over the top good looks.
