I've ridden hard tails all my life, but since I'm not wanting to race hardcore, I'd like to try a full suspension and have been eyeballing the Trek fuel 5.5.

Any experience with the newer Fuel frames?

Haha, here is quote from a thread I made back in May of '06

It's riding season again and the trails are muddy. Anyone out there riding and have some pics of your trails or bike? In this pic, you can see Logans Run. I used to lift weights with the head designer of that trail. I want to say her name is Sarah Logan. That section is awesome. It's technical and is entirely on the side of the bluffs running into the lake. If you crash, try to crash uphill. Ha, I found a little info on the trails right by my parents house. All in all there are 28miles of riding trails out there, not the 15miles they talk about. http://www.mtbr.com/trails/Kan....html And some pictures! http://sunflower.com/~cmartell...k2002/ Typical sight as you're riding along. Once I get out there with a digi cam, I will have to take some pictures of some of the drop-offs going into the lake on some of the downhill sections. They're fun I'm suck on the sideline for a bit till I get my rear shifter working/replaced. I'd really like to just replace my bike with this, but spending over 1400 for a bike seems silly since I'm not racing anymore. Modified by Looneybomber at 6:55 PM 5/1/2006

It's still sitting in my basement, where it's been since about last September.

Tokico Blues with Eibach springs, Stillen FSTB, 20mm RSB
