I was the gee-whiz guy for years and years. I had so much exotica. For sure it was exciting and interesting but damn if bikes from that era didn't come with a lot of headaches. Until the freeride era of the Knolly V-Tach. Finally bikes were tough enough to survive and still be cool, at nearly 50lbs.
For all that many bikes seem very similar we're in a golden age. Bikes are tougher and work better in more situations than ever before. They're also more expensive than ever. I remember back in the day thinking what I really wanted was a BB7 that could do everything. And now I'm on an Evil, which is kind of exactly that.
