Same organization / different route? You headed over the pass or down south from SEA?

One day I wish to live somewhere where a beach cruiser is my daily ride and within spitting distance of a beach.

^Only way I could bring myself to live within spitting distance of the beach would be if the beach was in spitting distance of the mountains

Giving you a bad time. I figured it was really to get the 'Vanderham Bend.'

Looks like SRAM has a competitor to Shadow: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-ty...leur-ride.html
I haven't ridden Shadow though, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing. I'm kind of behind on the times...still on a 9-speed with the old SRAM stuff. Oh well, my old gear gets the job done, when it comes time to upgrade I'll have something new and exciting to get stoked about.

Shadow is great for rock strikes(i can squeeze even narrower stuff). However, I still get dropped chains on the XC bike so these things are interesting, but probably too expensive for now.
