Kokomo area but I ride at a trail system in Indy right off 96th st of all places, nothing real big but they do a good Job at having something for riders of all skill levels, here's a link http://hmba.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=92&Itemid=8, any good places over your way?
Mtbr.com is prob one of the best sites ever....

I really like 510 shoes. I used to have a pair of Oakley Radars that were probably the best bike shoes I ever had. Too bad they quit making them.

Hey John post up the sweet mountain bike gopro video you made lol
Sent from a black cloud and the smell of burnt rubber.
lol the over the handlebars one?
I stopped taking the go pro with me while riding, everytime I did I wrecked bad.
After dealing with my shitty shifter set for 2 yrs......started looking for an upgrade.
Found a set of Shimano XTR ones on ebay....Won it for 32 bucks....and they are new.
Know time to find an awesome deal on derailleurs. Be nice to be able to shift properly, these Alivio ones are pretty cheap and junky.

Nice. XTR stuff is frickin sweet. I ripped apart the gears in two or three SRAM rear cassettes in about a year, got an XTR rear cassette and had no issues with it. You got a smokin deal on those too. :thumb:
Bumping an old thread.
Finally going with a FS Bike. Tired of my back feeling like I rode in a Ford all day long.
Its a Titus FTM 26 incher. Has an XTR Front Derailleur, Thomson Masterpiece seatpost and the Fox RP32 shock. Paid $250 for everything.
Now the fun part of spec'ing out the build. Thinking a 2x10 driveline. But may go with a 2x9 for it being substantially cheaper.

Looks like a good start to an a/m set up. I've thought about picking up an enduro or a/m style bike. When you get it built and ride it give us some feed back.
I love em. Just they aren't cheap. Buddy has an intense and a yeti, love riding his any chance I get, much more fun than my hardtail.

I have a carbon Santa Cruz blur. I just bought it from a buddy who bought it new and was upgrading. I don't know a lot about them but its a pretty sweet ride. I will try and get pictures to see if I got a good deal or not. Its in nice shape 2010 model and I paid $1500.

Hard to tell whats all on it. Pretty good deal for a Carbon full suspension though. Looks like a 150-160mm travel Rockshox fork and maybe Avid brakes with DT swiss rims.
I'd say you got a really good deal.
Have you gotten a chance to ride it yet?
That's a pricey build. Sram xo shit ain't cheap. What brakes are you going to run? Hope? Why not run fox forks? I've run fox, marzos, manis on all my different bikes. By far the best forks are fox. Samething with rear shocks. I do want to try a cane creek double barrel though both versions coil and air.
