The Truth So, This is the real deal.
I am on my 44th mtn. bike and by far this bike is the best to date!

and
It is what is.

That's 44 mountain bikes in how many years? Even assuming that "muontain
bikes" as such appeared in stores in the mid-seventies, they have only
been around for 28 years. That's over one-and-a-half bikes per year. I
doubt you had time to ride any of them sufficiently to really get to
know them well enough to feel that this is the best yet. I could be
wrong....... (and frequently am) .......but even given unlimited funds
that excessive consumption. ;-)

Steve- I don't even know why I would respond to this I worked in a
shop in 1980 - as well as many after that- We built our first MTB's out
of Schwinn 10 speed frames with a Campy frame bending tool. That was the
start. Rather than list every bike since then - I was a bike rep for
some time as well sports model that alone provided many bikes.

MTB's changed my life. I met my wife and had a kid due to these bikes -
I would have not been in Moab when she was if not to ride.

I am not bashing you, but if you road every day as I have for a long
time, you would understand that you can tell alot from a bike in not too
long a time.

The only reason I put how many bikes I've had was to give a reader some
background. If you knew me you would be super surprised to hear me make
a statment like I have about the Spider.

I do still work in the bike buss. However, we now produce many cycling
shows you see on TV.

I only made my post to relate my impression of the Spider.

Also FYI: MTB's were not in shops in the mid 70's

Ride on- GB
