You will need a shorter stem with the m-bars than with drops, so what
I do is have an appropriate stem, bars, and levers taped up and ready
to switch. Just undo the brake cables, switch stem set-ups, connect

Riv had a 64 Bombadil on the floor for a while. It's a huge bike and
probaby equivalent to a standard 68. I'm 6'1" and it felt like
standing next to my dad's bike as a little kid. You might give them a
call and see if they still have it.

Nice write-up! Those are the trails out my front door. I got to say,
the cows this year are more assertive than I've ever seen them. I've
had to nearly bump some with my front wheel to get them to moooove.

I thought the Hunq felt lighter than the 'Dil but Grant claims they're

I would bet that the Hilborne is at least as rugged as the MB-1 and
MB-0, which saw lots of rougher trails.

No rear brake causes a lot of skidding on the steeps, which isn't good
for the trails. An extra gusset at the DT/HT intersection was
requested, like a Bombadil. That's the miss
I thought I'd bump this thread and see how many are riding Grizzly

McEwen Road, a very steep climb. Riv was represented among the
volunteers too, with Rich Lesnik at check-in and an Atlantis owner at
the Island rest stop. Many thanks to the volunteers, who helped make
it a great event.

Looks like a good route. No problems with bullmoose or any other non-
drop bar if you're comfortable with them. Tony (on this list) recently
rode the very hilly Grizzly Peak Century on his albatrossed
Hillborne.

That looks like a lot of fun. I'd do it but I have family commitments
for that time.
