Post some photos!

haha, are you going to strip the paint on this one? I don't think you need to do much to it, I'd probally change the oil in the fork since it's probally never been done. You just need to make sure the oil stays full on the old dorados. they were great feeling becuase they really coated the stanchions in oil, but overtime, that reduced the oil in the resivoir.

I will be in tahoe thursday morning sometime. I'm not sure what my accomodations are going to be. Ruth and I are driving in the van with a few other people and meeting the rest of the team at the venue. I'll have the pit area with me (which you're more than welcome to use as a base camp). I imagine we'll probally be staying at the resort just to cut down on driving cost and logistics, but we (Ruth and I)could probally ditch everyone there and head in to town with you if something fun was going down. We will have our new puppy with us though, so that might limit some shenanigans (for ruth!).

usually for the race license, you have to have a year license to race Cat1. Since you've raced Cat 1 in the past, you'll have to email USA cycling and petition (basically just ask them and send some results for the past to them) and they should give you the upgrade. I think the lady's name is Kelly Lusk, she's the head of the MTB department.

PS, Carlos Mencia sucks.

Not the US open, I'll be racing the Fluidride Cup in Whistler instead, but I will be at N* for the ProGRT!

No, the world cup is a lot more maintenance for not much more performance. the weights are pretty similar too. I'd save the money and use it elsewhere, (or save it for a rebuild mid season to make it feel super fresh again)

yeah, those decisions suck. I have a 40 that is absolutly amazing, but it requires some work with maitnence. I ran a boxxer race last year that was pretty bullet proof. it was a sick deal for the price.

I don't. I just sold my thrashed boxxer to mike a few weeks ago.
