Trek Y-22
This was my first suspension bike and I learned quite a bit more about suspension while playing with this bike. I still get a kick out of it's carbon frame, but I have found it's ride to be a bit bouncy. Suspension bikes have got much better since this design. I also found that I really don't appreciate full suspension bikes as much as a well built hard tail.
What's unique about this machine...
This was Trek's step down from their top suspended bike. The only difference was with the components (and color). I changed quite a bit right away:

This was Trek's step down from their top suspended bike. The only difference was with the components (and color). I changed quite a bit right away:
- SRAM x9.0 group
- Ringle' stem
- Easton Monkey lite carbon bar
- Yeti grips w/grip locks
- Basic aluminum post
- Terry Fly seat
- Rock Shox Judy DH fork
- Avid brake in the rear
- Ringle Peace sign cable router (yeah, it's bling, but I do like it)
- Fox rear shock
- Deore front derailleur
- Avid SD2.0L brake levers (which are nice)
