Sweet bike!  Nice job. Still a rippin' bike for sure. I am not riding anything technical or crazy, this isn't Dh riding. I do want to amp it up a bit though. It's so good for skiing off-piste as you have to use the same balance and body awareness. I really use it for getting my mind to stop worrying about tight openings  like clsoe trees and such, I ride the bike through real tight places to work on that. It seems to have helped.  We just bought a decent hybrid bike which is perfect for hard trails and rails to trails for about 350.00, if you really want one, you can find them used for much less. You don't need very good shifters or brakes for casual riding, SRAM is more than adequate.
