be-yoo-tiful

Congrats to my friend, Organically Digital who just purchased the be-yoo-tiful bike you see here. See, about two months ago, I showed up at his house with an air pump and some bike tools and brought his old bike back to life. We've been having great exercise, discussion, and buddy time on our weekly rides. He's been doing research to get a bike that is built to handle the rigors of mountain biking as a 6'4 240 pound dude. We finally hit paydirt yesterday after test riding like ten different bikes. The Jamis Dakar Sport. You may not know, but mountain bikes are a lot like underwear. You don't get to try them on, you just buy it based on a tiny little ride in a parking lot. Its not the same as getting out on a trail, bumping over rocks and dirt. You look at the package, and hope that what you've got is what you want. Here's hoping this bike never bunches up or rides up his butt...
