New bikes all around

Craig Brossman said:

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit one of my riding buddies,
drink a few beers, watch the Avs blow a 3 to 1 lead to Dallas, and
talk about all the rides we'll do this summer on our new rides.

Patrick has been riding an MB1 for many years now, and been very happy
with it, but he decided it was time to get a new FS rig, complete with
all new components. The MB1 will be for house guests and the
occasional ride down memory lane.

I have been on a FS for 5 years now, but a very nice deal came my way.
By using some of the components from the old ride, I was able to get
what I consider a very good price on a very good ride, complete with
new fork and drive train.

We're sitting on our bikes in the living room, watching the game,
complementing each other on our acquisitions, drinking beer, playing
with all the adjustments ... Patrick's wife is enjoying this more than
us, I guess we were acting like little boys, but what does she expect.
The truth is, nothing more than she got! Besides, she was drinking
Tripel as well.

We can't wait to get the bikes out, but Patrick is traveling this
week, and the local trails are very, very muddy. It will have to wait
until the weekend, if no more rain and snow comes. I haven't had a new
mountain bike in 5 years, and this is the wettest spring we have had
in 5 years, go figure.

Very nice. Only one complaint: YOU NEGLECTED TO SAY WHAT THE HELL YOU
GOT!!!

Congrats on the new ride. I'm sure it's killin' ya not to be able to ride
it as it was meant to be ridden. Something about the innocent joy of a new
bicycle, regardless of age or situation. It's like being 9 years old at
Christmas time. No matter how old you really are or what time of year it
is, there's just a certain magic that makes it glow.

Not intended.
The little story was not about the bikes at all, just about how they
made me and my buddy feel, and how his wife had to point it out to us.
These could be Trek 520's or Seven FS rigs, it really doesn't matter,
they will both get ridden and we will both enjoy the hell out of them
.... as soon as the trails dry out.
