I’m very lucky to have a full quiver of Specialized bikes to chose from!

So, you are a trail mashing mofo; gnarliest of the gnar. Yes, you are a fit machine and can ride. You have skills. Skills, eh? How about swimming, mountain biking and running — as in consecutively… in one day… at race pace?

XTERRA South Africa
If you dont know it yet, I LOVE 29ers! (29er = Big wheels)

- Better rolling.
- Keeps momentum.
Sure, the bike weighs a bit more, but we’re* working on it…
* Specialized.
My dad, (also 6ft3) has this saying- “A good [...]
