Shova at Harris Lake

My bff Pat and I hit Harris Lake trails today. It's mostly tight single track - not exactly the place to show off what the Shova can do, but we did find a small dropoff to play on.

New Bike - Morewood Shova LT

So here it is. It's almost complete. As it stands now, it's right at 37 lbs. It'll be my (heavy) XC bike as well as my Snowshoe (lite Freeride) bike.

• 2007 Morewood Shova LT (Large with 7.6" travel)
• 2007 Marzocchi 66 SL1 ATA (140mm - 180mm travel)
• Avid Juicy Sevens with 200mm rotors front and rear
• Titec El Norte Bent Prolite seatpost
• Azonic Outlaw wheels (purchased, but not installed yet)
• WTB Velociraptors 26"x2.1 front and rear (purchased, but not installed yet)

No one would claim that it's a pure XC bike, but with the El Norte Bent seat post, a 100mm stem, and 2.1 tires, I can get enough room in the cockpit to make it work for XC. When it's time to go to Snowshoe, I'll put on a Thompson straight seatpost, a 70mm stem, some 2.5 dual-ply tires, and I'll be good to go.

Now I just need some ride time...
