re: #48 teleskiguy

Hey now, I love my modern Santa Cruz Blur full-suspension mountain bike. Sure, I’ve had to replace chains, cassettes, so many brake pads, I had to get a whole new wheelset once, the front wheel I bought used. But hey, the headset, cranks, handlebars, seatpost and seat, shifters and shocks are still originals, though the front fork has been rebuilt half dozen times and the rear shock had to be rebuilt once and no longer locks out. But I still love my modern bicycle!

Santa Cruz Blur may be the best ever. Lockouts aren’t needed.
