Default 2 New Bikes from The Path!!!
First let me say thanks to Tani and Brian W. for the great service throughout the entire build process. They were always more then willing to answer all of my questions and took exceptional care of us. The guys and ladies at The Path are great and I wouldn't think of buying a bike from anywhere else.

Now on to the bikes! It was time to get my wife a new bike and upgrade her from the really old Giant that she was riding. We tried quite a few bikes and the one she ended up loving was the 2007 Specialized Stumpjumer FSR Expert.

After trying my other "dream" bikes (Turner, Ibis, Yeti, Knolly, and Pivot) I ended up deciding on a Mach 5. The goal of this build was to have a solid, simple, reliable bike that could handle the trail riding that I do. I think I accomplished my goal with the help of Tani and Brian.

When snapping the photos for some reason her Stumpy looks orange when in fact its red. I also picked her up some Crank Bro Mallets but haven't put them on yet.

Sweet bikes! You're going to love the Mach 5. I have been riding mine for five months, and am so happy with my purchase. I've done a lot climbing and taken it down some pretty hairy stuff. The bike is yet to fail me.........can't always say the same about the rider, though

Please stop posting all these beautiful NEW bikes (which I don't have!!!)!!! First the guy with the Moment, and now another new Mach 5.

So... nice.... and... SHINY!

How much did DT pay you to leave town while he unveiled his new DW link line? You must be pissed!
