Additional Info

this bike went through so much shit, I rode this bike for years, I learned so much with this bike. I Built this bike up from almost nothing all through high school, I rode this thing everywhere, and it almost never belonged on the trails I rode. There's almost not a single part of this bike that wasn't swapped out multiple times, and what was swapped was rarely for something lighter. I grew with this bike, and every challenge it presented me taught me what makes me a good rider and mechanic today. I had technical setbacks on it, I had crashes, I broke parts of the bike, I broke parts of myself. Hell, I got launched off this thing from a nose case and broke my damn spine, and this bike didn't even need the bars realigned. This bike is mostly taken apart now, and a lot of the pieces are either on other bikes, or have been sold off to finance new parts, but I'll never forget it. I won't really miss it, it sucked to pedal, but I'm thankful for it nonetheless.
