A former CCT friend of mine was one of the volunteers on the jump. The portability does not outweigh the durability in this case, unless you want a one or two mission "bike". I'd hate to be hoofing after pretzeling one of those on mildly technical terrain. My idea of a good bike for combat use would be a solid SS with a flip-flop for gearing to fit the mission, have them being dropped in a door bundle, and only used in environments that called for SUT. I hear Afghanistan has some killer trails in the mountains. JD |
