Hippie has a new ride

i have both.

your right i dont ride on a road bike much, but that is soon to change with the build of this new china carbon bike... should be interesting to see how this progresses.

For me the sram shifting does not compare to that of my shimano... but of course its comparing apples to oranges as my Dirt Jump bike has X5 shifters and X9 rear derailleur, and the bike in the picture above has XTR everything.

I havent driven a car in almost 3 yrs, and have only biked. Its my only means of commuting and you will find me doing 60miles round trip just to run my rc at a track, so i def put a lot of miles on my bike, and like you said I run what feels best / works the best for me =P
