  1. I just got a Canon Digital Rebel for my birthday (which is tomorrow). A nice digital SLR has been on
    my wish list for some time now. The bonus is that I have more to spend on a new bike, I've pretty
    much narrowed my focus down to a Turner 5-Spot, or maybe a Turner 5-Spot. As usual, recommendations
    for a 5" travel, 4-bar-style trail bike with at least one set of water bottle bosses (camelbacks
    alone don't always cut it out here in the west) are more than welcome.

    Cheers, Greg

    Instead of the 5spot, consider this bike:

    On 2nd thought, I think I might get one of those but without the dirt. I'm only going to ride it on
    the road so it needs to be clean.

    What size is it, anyway?

    Large.

    Noticably stiffer back end when compared to the Truth or Id. Fits me better as well. Great tire
    clearance.

    I'm digging it.

    Happy B-Day, Bill ...one speed to rule them all, one speed to find them, one speed to bring them all
    and on the trails pass them In the Land of Avalon where the geared pigs lie...
