Do you plan on riding it on the trails, or is that for commuting/city riding?
Really nice bike!

I just sold my Heckler for a rigid, singlespeed, 29'er! See, it's the yin and yang thing at work.

nice shots of the Alias, have fun out there (as if I need to say that!)

I just sold all my bikes except my brakeless BMX for money to travel overseas... :lol:

Enjoy the ride, it's what it's all about.

Thats a sweet bike. Makes me want to take the Trek off the stand. I have not checked out the new gear in a few years.

Stop talking about your equipment and use it

The D2 is a great fork for this price point, and yes the brakes might need a bit to bed in properly
