I might try to grow some leg muscles.

Equipment upgrades this year will focus on a getting a f/s rig for my wife (and maybe a baby )

Otherwise it'll just be a matter of replacing/repairing stuff as I break/wear it.

edit:
....unless a deal comes my way on a road bike

Default Gucci

I am going get some Gucci fabric and reupholster all of my SDG saddles for starters. Here's the rest:
  • New lowers for both of my FOX 40s (white ones!)
  • E13 LG1 systems for all of my bikes
  • Sunline extra-wide bars for my DH bikes
  • Troy Lee Steve Peat replica helmet
  • All new racing kit for Team Bike Co.
  • Black TLD gloves for practice, white TLD gloves for race
  • Shimano DH shoes and Shimano XC shoes
  • 10 pairs of Active Board Shop socks
  • All new 661 armor (carbon knee shins with gaskets)
  • Biggest upgrade is my team. If it works to plan, it's going to be absolutely sick!
I love my bikes right now so it's just little goodies and maybe fresh powder coats for all (white!!!).

Now that I have basically 1 of everything--old school full rigid, SS, FS trail, Freeride/DH, 29er, HT and road I don't really have anything too big planned.

My plans do include:

--Crossmax wheelset for the 29er
--Niner frame to replace the Zion
--Fox 36 TALAS for the Yeti
--Bling/lighter wheelset for the SS
--White Industries Eno cranks for the SS
--Cheap 4-5" travel FS frame to throw my HT parts on
--Maybe a Yeti ASX frame or a Transition frame to replace the Haro

No real hurry on any of it. When I do get around to it, it'll probably go in that order though.

My upgrade is, hopefully, a job offer for a great position in SLC, Utah. 15 minutes from Wasatch powder and some of the best MTB'ing in the country, 2 dj parks, lift accessed downhill, moab and virgin, and a job that has the flexibility to enjoy those things.

A cool new free ride rig but I think thats a pipe dream as I purchased three new bikes this year. I decided to blow what little money I had set aside for some parts or the Bullit frame on my wife for X-mas. I think that after three bikes she deserves it. Other than that some minor gear and lots of riding!

Hmmm, dunno how much more I can upgrade the Schwinn cruiser. Pretty satisfied with the setup as it is. Amazingly I don't have any plans to buy anything special like I have in past years, just replacement parts for wear and tear.

Might put the bike fund money into tricking out the Miata now.
