Wow you have long history with that 'Blade....that goes straight "over fireplace" as souvenir once new Pivot arrives....you're going to have a lot of fun with modern geometry. I'm not veteran like you but i kept my cube stereo 2017 for flat and grocery store rides while Specilazed Enduro 2022 is new adrenaline weapon. Didn't aim for it but i bumped on a really good price, otherwise id go with nice allarounder (SC Hightower), still do when budget allows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple folks (online), that went with a 650b conversion for their Blades. Put some new life into their bikes. that Specialized you have is a very nice Bike.

My Specialized is really a enduro/dh beast but not quite well allarounder, i like to go xc adventures as well so when budget allows i'll go for some of those too (Expensive hobby😅). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now im in my late 30's and more i see some kind of hobby/sport is neccessary....dont give up, just go easier, enjoy the ride without adrenaline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticpuma Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I still head out around Worcestershire, UK on my Gary Fisher Sugar 2. Old but still going strong and the bike 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I can't afford even a second hand thing like that... bummer! My old mountain bike weighs a ton and it's just about had it... if I had the money I'd buy another, but alas..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief_Mouser Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Those Red Bull guys are mad as trees, but for sheer class I don't think that you can beat this: Macaskill takes his bike to places where I was scared to walk.

Trooper117 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I was impressed until he 'carried' his bike to the top of the feature. (bloody show off 😁) but became even more impressed when he made his way down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climbing up the pinnacle would have scared me to death (even without a bike) and absailing (down from it) was something I never mastered. 1 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath.
