I got my 2008 Trek 8900 Cross Country Hard Tail mountain bike last December. You can call it a Christmas gift for myself. I sold my old 2003 Giant NRS Cross Country Dual Suspension frame for P10K then got the new frame for P15K. I'd say it was a win-win deal as I needed an upgrade but didn't want to shell out much for the difference.
Here's the inventory of my bike set up:
FRAME: Trek 8900 XC HT (2008 ver)
FRONT SHOCKS: Manitou Black Platinum (all options)
BARS: Titec HellBent
STEM: Titec Big Al

To supplement my ride, here's an inventory of my gear:
JERSEYS: Fox, Primal Wear, Anatomic
GLOVES: SixSixOne, Fox
SHOES: SixSixOne, Shimano (ex)

After de-stressing myself and typing all of these down, the BIG QUESTION is when can I find time to ride it again?!?!
