Well what would you expect from a guy from Vista? I spent the first 19 years of my life there. It'll do things to your mind.
I hope its a mongoose from walmart.

Alright, alright already!! You guys are not letting me get of easy, and I have been negligent in not updating this post.

Actually, I was sans camera for a bit, so I couldn't shoot any more pictures of the box.

Here's what was in it, with a few bits added:

And of course, for the Homers, the requisite couch shot:


Pretty modest build:

2005 Horst Link 5 Spot
Fox Talas RLC
Fox RP3 Pushed
Hope Mini's
XT Shifters & Ders.
Hone Crankset
Hope Stem & Flip Collar
Raceface Bar & Seatpost
Sun Singletrack Wheelset
Salsa Rasta Skewers
Chris King Dreadset

I was sad to see the Burner go. It's still in my garage, possibly to live again, but a buddy has been after it for a while now and keeps bugging me about it. I don't know if I have the will to part with it, it was and is a great frame.

The Spot though has been on my mind almost as soon as I got the Burner. This baby was the right deal at the right time, so I moved on it. Moved most of the parts from the Burner to the Spot. Only thing new is the stem and headset. Maybe some new wheels soon...

Anyways, it rides like a dream!!
