Hey Maurice, Why a San Andreas? I think You might like something more cross country oriented. something you can race up the mountain as well as down. Mike
Why San Andreas? Don't know, looks maybe? I first seen one 10 years ago in a magazine and just had to have one. I figured if I'm going to spend anywhere from a 1K to 3K I might as well get what I always wanted. I did notice they have a cross crounty and down hill model, I want the cross crounty. I also notice MTB Review named the San Andreas Mountain Bike Frame of the year.
Knowing myself I'll end up with 2 bikes, something other then the San Andreas and then a San Andreas.
