Seatpost – provided by Pricepoint Frame – provided by Vassago If you build one yourself, I imagine it'd be possible to get one for under $1000. Ridiculous price if you ask me.

Plus I actually rode by a park ranger in his truck, on the way to the trail. I waved at him and he didn't stop me so I assumed it was okay to proceed. I didn't pick up ANY mud on the downhill but at slow speed all that clay just looks for anything to grab on to.

Other than that, I'm a bit jealous of your Snatch. That's a sweet looking bike! Um Lance…you’re supposed to wait 2-3 days after it rains to give the trail a chance to dry out.
