Since I am in the market for a new ride in the next 2 weeks, I am wondering if there any Morcer's who might be willing to let me ride some of their SS 29ers on some trails. I live next to Theo, so that is preferable, but I am open. I am also looking at possibly looking at spending about 1K on my new bike, but I am also thinking of doing split of that cash between 2 mid-range bikes, one geared and one SS since I need to give my Wife back her A1 before I break it.
Thanks,
Devin

I'd be willing to meet you at Theo with my Karate Monkey (size Medium). It's not set up as a single speed now, but you could just pick a gear and not shift it. If you like the Monkey, you can set it up as geared, single, fixed, whatever you want (since it has horizontal track style dropouts). Just make sure you bring something I can take a lap on as well so I'm not standing around for 20ish minutes staring at the trees and watching others have fun.

Hey Devin, I would be willing to make arrangements to loan you my Raleigh XXIX, size large. I'm thinking of selling it anyway. Send me a private message or email at: reflector dot collector at gmail dot com.

I'll meet you at Theo or Leb with my Moncog, if you're interested. My frame is a medium.

Jeremy,
let me know when you might be going to Theo next and I will see if I can get away for an hour. I ride a Specialized A1 currently, so you would be welcome to ride that for a lap.

Ken,
Welcome back! Between life, and the rains we have had I did not get out to ride at all. Let me know when you want your rig back.

No problem Devin. You can hang onto the Raleigh until you have had a chance to ride it. I'm in no rush to get it back, I have other bikes. I just wanted to make sure you didn't run off with it :)

No way. I will let you know when I have a good test ride on it.
Thanks again.:D
