This bike is unbelievably heavy. Old school chromoly american made frame. Smooth as butter and after over twenty years still shifts and rides extremely nice. On this day I rode nearly 40 miles and just enjoyed myself.

Gravity point 29er
I know this is not the drive side, which everyone says should be pictured however I wanted to show off my red disc rotors lol. This was taken before I changed out the front tora shock, the conti 2.2 MKII rear tire and the easton vice stem. I was riding some local single track and stopped to take a break in some sparse shade. I also replaced the kalin seat post for an easton offset ea70 seat post.
Normally for my mountain bikes I purchase kenda. I think kenda makes some really great off road tires. For my road bikes I have purchased nothing but conti's. I decided after much back and forth between conti and other brands and finally settled for conti MKII tires front and rear. I will say I have been really impressed with them. The version I purchased are not the black chili nor protection series but, have plenty of grip. One thing to note they do not have transition knobs so if you are used to having transition knobs beware these feel like they are going to wash out but, immediately grab and dig in plus they roll unbelievably smooth despite the large void between the lugs. Depending on where I ride it is made up of loose over hard pack, hard pack, sand and rocks and these tires have done a very good job for me.
