Hello back! 
Yep, I had much help during my process in selecting my first bike. Glad I found this place.

Haha. No kidding! I probably won't be starting many threads. At least not in the begginers forum. Most questions have been asked dozens of times. Honestly that is why I started this thread. Just a little encouragement for the regulars that keep the begginers forum active.LUNARFX said:

Hi,
Been lurking here for about a year, checking the forums and product reviews. Not really new to MTB'ing, but I've only been back into it for the past year or so after a long layoff. Anyway, this seemed like a good thread to do the introduction thingy.
Last Winter a backpacking buddy of mine asked if I wanted to start riding with him and his cohorts, so I pulled the '88 steel Stumpy (BioPace!! ) down from the rafters and gave it a go. A week later I did my first ever night ride with them, and I was hooked. Again.
Now -- 25 lbs lighter and a hell of a lot stronger -- I'm riding a 2007 i-Drive 4, which I really like as an all-around bike. Looking to do a few upgrades. Also starting to get the itch to build something from the frame up. Maybe a nice light XC HT? I want to try my hand at a 24-hr race next Fall. Already been looking at threads & product reviews for an idea of what I can get with this year's tax refund. One bad thing about SoCal is that there's hardly ever any down time to work on a bike.
Look forward to talking some details soon. Cheers to all.
