My friends at Chumba Racing graciously lent me one of their prototype bikes to test out around local trails to get my impressions.
So off I headed to one of my local favorites - San Juan. Climbed up to Cocktail Rock and did the Old San Juan Loop around the top. There weren’t a lot of other riders out there and the weather was fantastic.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. Anyways, the prototype did great. It’s very well balanced, where I don’t need to exaggerate my body position when climbing over rocks or dropping down. Nimble would be a good word for it.
And oh..I caught a glimpse of the Salsa Big Mama in the wild today. I didn’t know they were out yet. It must have been a bike industry guy or something. Oh well. Too late. I already ordered another FS 29er. Details to follow later on
