I have a Giant AC 2 from 2003 with singletrack wheels, hayes brakes, marzocchi 66 up front etc... It is a great bike and handled anything and everything I threw at it when i still lived up north. Now, i live in southern florida and the trails are pretty nice but involve a lot of pedaling and climbing (yep, you have to climb in florida). I want to lower the weight of the bike and was thinking of changing my 2.5 in the back to a 2.3 for lower rolling resistance. However, that affects the weight very little. I'd like to drop it to a high 20s low 30s bike. Should I buy a new frame and replace the heavy AC or just sell mine and buy a new bike? I thought about going back to a hardtail but don't know for sure yet. What do you guys think? I'm stepping away from the whole Freeride thing and am looking at more of a trail/xc bike now. Give me your thoughts, opinions and knowledge. Please, no jerk comments.

Ride Hard. Live Well everyone.

Man Utd fans, be honest with yourselves. Dont you think u guys were desperate?

Before i receive a series of man utd attackers, just hear me out.
Against Lille in France, dont you think United were desperate to take that quick free kick? So desperate for that away goal! U couldnt even score "fairly". Also, BE HONEST, if Lille scores tommorow once in the first half, and then in the 2nd half they take a quick free kick in the 90th minute, and they score, causing United to bow out of the tournament, will u united fans accept it in yur hearts? Or will u come here and insult the french?
I think it's the second one.
Goodluck!

Brian Cook Question?

I think Brian Cook's game fit right with the Phoenix Suns, he's a shooting big guy who can put up a 3 pointer.
If I'm scouting for the Suns, I'll take him
