Almost under 200lbs after almost 5 months of diet and exercise. Feels good. May have to join you folks once spring hits for a ride or three.

 

Good for you man. What did you start at?

 

I had gotten super fat....about 265.

 

That pretty amazing, Hard work + Diet FTW

 

Nice work Mike, what are your goals br0?

 

very impressive dude. Best weight reduction & health mod! It'll be funny if come Spring we'll have Mid-A mountain biking meets w/ a consistent 10+ attendance.

 

Bigger mountain bike meets then Z meets. FTW!!

Great job mike!! Thats dedication.

 

I def wanna do a Clay, Ahn, Slim first trip out meet.

Would be good times. We just have to schedule it.

 

Last time I rode I was just riding through Patapsco with my friends. wasn't to crazy or hardcore, but I plan to eventually.

 

wahoo is same frame alberto has... good one to upgrade but comes with pretty much junk components...

Ive been riding my friends wahoo and he has been riding my bike since mine fits him better and its not great...

Brakes would have to be upgraded almost immediately

 

If you are going to get even semi serious dont do anything under a Mamba.

The Cobia is really the one to go for I wish I had done that from the start.

 

nice work Mike that is a substantial decrease


Kyle, I had a Fisher Wahoo back in 2001 (before he signed on with Trek) it was a decent bike and took a beating but looking back compared to my Cobia it wasn't even close.

At the minimum i would go for a mamba/cobia if you plan to really get into riding. If you think you are just going to hit the trail once in a while then the Wahoo is probably ok,

But you don't want to be in a situation where you are constantly upgrading stuff

 

2 huge differences... the front shock, and lack of hydraulic brakes on the wahoo. they are V clamps and they are super weak.

If your wanting to upgrade everything then you may as well just buy a used frame.

If not go with what alberto and zain said.. mamba at least but should try to swing a cobia.

Jeff ended up buying a cobia as well.

 

Found Dave a bike http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...543904288.html

 

That's one hell of a deal. Doubt it will last long.

Maybe a hot bike?

Not sure if it would fit Dave but if it does. JUMP ON IT. Brand new they are $1200 bikes.

Anh you have long legs make it work.

 

You're forgetting the part where it costs over $200!!

 

Guess we will never see you out on the trails.

 

determined to find the old widow selling off husband's old merchandise and not knowing how much it's worth. $50 dolla holla

 

Just be healthier....and whether we like it or not, life is an exercise in vanity, and looking better/healthier helps in all aspects of life.

 

That is a sick deal on that 21" frame. I was torn between the 19/21" but went with the smaller frame for the nimbleness.

From Saturday.
