This will be a lot of fun

I just came back from Topanga Canyon Bicycles. Went up there to get a mountain bike. After testing and testing and talking to them a lot I decided to go with the Salsa El Kaboing (instead of the BMC fs02). I had almost decided to go with the BMC since it is more of a cross country bike, but evertime I tried the Salsa I had so much fun on it. They guys at the shop finally told me: “you come back with a big smile everytime you are on the Salsa, you should get that one”. And that was true :) I did feel great on the Salsa. It has more suspension than the BMC. The BMC has 100mm and the Salsa has 140mm and on boy you can tell the difference. There is something about the Salsa geometry that just made it feel more playful to ride, so I think I made the right choise.

The bike is used but not much. All XT components and hydraulic disk breaks. I already bought a book about the trails in the Santa Monica mountains (biking distance away from my place). This will be FUN!

So excited to have a bike. Can’t wait to go ride it!
