An awful lot of trail and "mountain biking" can be done on standard road bikes: http://www.geocities.com/rayhosler/coastrangeslides/ coast_range_slide.htm http://www.adventurecorps.com/way/whoneedsatb.html And of course the photo gallery on: http://www.rivbike.com Rock gardens and 10' dropoffs maybe not, but with suitable gearing and moderately fat tires most anything else can be ridden on a road bike. And certainly on a AHH. I don't know about you, but 35 years ago when I was a kid we rode whatever bikes we had on trails and in the woods. 3 speeds, Stingrays, ten speeds (back when they were ten speeds), Schwinn Typhoons, BMA/6 POSes, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
