weeeell, I'ma sittin out here in the bikeshop working on bikes, since I gotta heal for a few days from my wreck and I noticed I was having a hard time getting around - realized most of the bikes were mine...14 bikes in the yard just right now, and half were mine.
...SO, what does your stable look like??

I added a new bike to my arsenal yesterday, I went with a road bike to help for the off season training and to switch mountain biking up. Also the wife wanted one so that was a good excuse to buy one for me.
I went with the Trek 1600t, took it out for a 30 mile ride yesterday and it was great. :2thumbs:

Also, I am looking to get a new Mtn Bike and would like be curious to hear some suggestions about my choices.

1. Trek EX 9.0
2. Ellsworth Moment
3. Specialized Stumpjumper
4. Turner 5 spot

What do you think?

you mean we have to pick from THAT lineup?! You cant go wrong with any of them! I would take the Trek or the Ellsworth out of that group but if youre branching out from there you could go with a Kona Stinky

or a Yeti....the choices nowadays are TOUGH! Do you want a 'trail bike' ? or one you can do some serious damage with? I am gearing towards a Kona or another Rocky Mountain...RMX series or Switch. Go start hitting the shops....the GOOD shops....Go-Ride, or Canyon Cycles down in Draper.

I have been hitting the shops, but even more I do my homework on all these bikes. I am leaning toward the Ellsworth or the Trek? I would like around 5 inches of travel but still have a bike that is light and can climb well. I really havent looked much at the Kona bikes, but will check them out. :2thumbs:
