Hello from AR
New to this forum but have been cycling for a few years now. I do some group rides but mainly solo road rides and some touring and commuting; mountain bike a few times a year too.
I wish I would have joined this forum sooner, probably could have saved me a lot of headache.
I ride a Spesh Diverge, Trek FX and my mountain bike is an Orbea MX20 29er. When I'm not on the bike I love spending time with my family, playing the guitar and piano and brewing beer.
Cheers, and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome. Do you have the newer Diverge with the "future shock" under bar suspension? I read some about it here:

I've never tried an Orbea MTB. But I have had their older carbon road frame for a while now. Still looks and rides good for being close to 14 years old now.

I have the A1, the base model from a couple year models back. I bought it because I was wanting to do some changes to no matter which model I bought, so buying the cheap one made more sense. The future shock does look pretty interesting though. I haven't gotten around to making any changes to my Diverge, and I'm considering selling it and buying a carbon adventure bike from BD later next year.
The Orbea was my first real bike, kind of funny to think about me out on the road with it on long rides, clueless!
