Hi everyone!

This is Cristian, a rider from Santiago, Chile (you can call me Chris as my name in English is Christian) I've been here from time in time looking for useful info on mtbr reviews, I find it pretty much exciting to be here...sharing my experiences on the trail with people from all the globe!!

Right now I'm a beginner rider who actually has not much time to go to the hills (I'm working as a travel agent and we are in our high season)... having the Andes foothills in front on me just 1 mile away... I'm lucky to be close to it!

Well, I really don't know if this is the kind of posts you regularly do when you start here, I would like to make some new friends -remotely, I guess, as I live in south america.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
From Santiago, Chile/Chili

Hey there... welcome!

As a newbie myself, this form has LOTS and LOTS of useful info and people to help you out.

What bike you getting (I assume you dont have one yet)?

BTW, I'm from Colombia, living in Miami.

Well, this is my current trail bicycle

It is 100% tuned excepting the headset and the frame, obviously. I bought it as a first price bike (cheap) it had 7 speed drivetrain by shimano and poor components.

I like to call her "All Mountain Hardtail Norco" but it is just an Adventure comfort XC Bike... hehe

Thanks for responding!

Select "My Account" from the horizontal navigation bar. You'll see a control panel that allows you to incorporate your information, including the type of bike you ride. Not sure on the picture.

Thanks for the reminder Skyliner, actually I'm wearing a Met Zefiro right now.

I've had Fox Flux that I broke up when I crashed on one of my last urban ridings...

Welcome aboard. Look around, post where you think it fits, always feel free to ask, no matter how silly it may seem (we've all been there......I still am, it seems).

And don't drop cigarette butts near the pond. The fish come out at night and smoke them, we've been trying to get them to quit.

Hello again!

Just to know if anyone has any problem watching the AM Forum (bike setup of AM or something like that...) is that I'm a newbie and I don't have complete access to see it all?
