got one a couple months ago. same age, but 220. knees, time and fitness no longer allow climbing to the best trails, which are the highest up, without undue suffering. with this rig, everything is on the menu, and it's all fun, including the uphill flow, and then more time spent descending, linking together creative routes i would never have done otherwise. yeah, it's been an adjustment in some aspects, both up and down, but with time comes adaptation and the bike is turning out to be every bit as capable on steep descents as my regular bike. the whole thing is a bloody game changer and it's incredible fun.
