Go for it and buy the SS. Explore into different type of riding & trails instead of riding Del Cerro every weekend.

If I make it out there tonight (30% chance now), I'll bring it and you can take it for a ride. I don't know what type of gearing you're used to, but it has a 32/20 on it now. I usually push a 32/21.

knowing me as the in house XC rider,

Why? Because I said I am. I claimed it first so that makes it so. All you other guys/gals are now just dirt riders.HA!

I'm the in-house Specialized rider. And, I call in-house intermediate rider, too. No one else can claim intermediate status now. That's mine.
