Looks good, I love the silver on the 09. I may still pick one of these up for my geared 29er.
Ready to sell the 26" FS now?

Oleta was a bit rough - however, the SS/rigid aspect provided a different challenge that made it fun. I have yet to ride Markham. I ran 32-20 in Colorado this September, went to 36-21 here b/c it's much flatter.ZombieFood said:Very nice. I just got an 09 Cobia a few weeks ago. I love it but I don't know about going single speed or rigid.
Oleta roots would beat the hell out of me and some of the climbs at Markham would be rough without some gears to get into.
I forgot to ask. Did you weigh it before the modifications? I don't know the weight of it stock but I am guessing 28lbs?
Sweet looking bike!!nanobiker said:Before anybody start asking why I didn't buy a single speed or a rigid one from the beginning, I have to admit that I jumped in the 29" bandwagon without knowing anything about it. Here in south Florida there is no too many 29ers. I did it because my 26" FS broke and I wanted to try something different while I was waiting for my frame replacement.
I choose GF because it was no too expensive to try and because I was familiar with the G2 geometry.
Later on, I became obsessed with the MTBR forums and started to explore new options like rigid and SS.
Today, I could not be more happy riding a bike, I can not stop thinking on the new challenges on every ride.
Not crazy bout the bar and stem..IMO it would look much better all black..Great bike enjoy.CF.....Dr Feelygood ! said:Love the black+silver look !
