Eventually his whole drivetrain broke. <br />MMMimbres Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764257754905227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-26021067813098838742010-07-01T02:09:24.948-07:002010-07-01T02:09:24.948-07:00Article online now at Cannondale.com... and for su...Article online now at Cannondale.com... and for sure, we'll continue to sing the praises of this guy and this type of racing. <br /><br />ps - I don't think I could take him!

The soak up the bumps and the miles. I am still in the dark ages with 26" wheeled mtn bikes. I've been riding titanium for 20 years so I feel no pain when riding the rough stuff...honestly. <br /><br />Matthew is a minimalist. His bike fully loaded weighs only 32 lbs, and somehow he survives. <br /><br />The 3 top finishers, Matthew Lee (Cannondale), Erik Lobeck (Moots), and Blaine Nester (Cannondale) were riding Leftys so that is saying something about that design. <br /><br />Erik Lobeck was riding a soft tail titanium Moots YBB 29er which seems to be a good set-up.Mimbres Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764257754905227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-35324201792458071252010-06-30T16:49:33.043-07:002010-06-30T16:49:33.043-07:00A lefty hardtail, interesting rig.

I rode his bike, the "Buffalo Soldier", across town to deliver it to him. That thing is incredible! Super light, TD-equipped it weighs only 32 lbs! It accelerates like mad! <br /><br />It was like getting to drive Ivan Stewart's Baja truck.Mimbres Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764257754905227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-23799264991826163362010-06-30T08:17:04.867-07:002010-06-30T08:17:04.867-07:00I think a lot of us could.I think a lot of us could.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-60745849183472439122010-06-30T08:09:34.039-07:002010-06-30T08:09:34.039-07:00I could take that skinny guy no problem.
