The Cure? Get another, a hard tail, not top of the line but at least something you would not hesitate to bomb in any trail. At least you are not naming your bike yet  LOL...All of my bikes have names. Black Betty, Sugar, Babe (goes to new owner), Caddie, and Tarma. |

The easy cure is to get a couple of extra bikes  Its one of the reasons I have 3 bikes...the XC full suspension bike, the dirtjump hardtail, and the big travel freeride/dh bike...if one is the shop for one reason or another, I have 2 others to choose from. |

Extra bikes works for me Garry.
Alan, Tell you need to keep it in case someone wants to ride with you that doesn't have a bike, or maybe you're going to hand it down to your kids when they grow up, or it's cheaper than buying a new one, or ( I like this one) "I can't bear to say goodbye to it, it's been so good to me".
Don't tell anyone, I named mine also. (the bike)

Unfortunately storage space and funds do not permit me to have multiple bikes. Oh well, I guess I'll just boo hoo until mine is done today. I'm waiting by the phone......

Running at 44x16  I think it is a hardtail? Its rigid I saw a blog somewhere showing a guy riding this type of bike in Alafia and Santos. I was not certain if its the same foldable bike but the frame and tire are pretty similar. |

Or I could get a fat tired unicycle. Gregg, Jonathan, and I saw a guy riding one on the small pump track at Santos last Saturday. That dude was a stud!! |

Know what you mean, especially if they clean it and you don't! I think they need to try clips, LOL!! Just kidding but it would take some big ones to ride a uni with clips though. |

I'm sure you could find a way to store two bikes. Most people don't think about storage in 3D terms. Be more creative.

Well, I still don't have the bike! My LBS ordered the wrong part for the fork. It's still gonna be there for most of this week.  I did borrow my old hardtail from my dad. That was sure a rough ride that I am not used to. |
