This MTB lark that is.
I've been off road a few time on the MTB I built, we've got some decent country side here to go out in. Lots of evil climbs but some good downhills dotted about, miles of farm land to take in views etc.
Thing is I just feel soooooo sluggish on the MTB, I'm cursing every single hill I have to go up, wishing I had more flat bits to just chill out and ride along, and getting pissed off having to go up endless hill to get to the few fast downhills.
I feel very out of shape on the mtb when climbing, on the roads I go flying up much longer, steeper hills with much less hassle and actually enjoy it alot of the time.
I am considering selling the MTB and putting the cash toward a road bike, making the hybrid the full commuter and having a racey bike for fun.
I like On road stuff, I like going fast and getting a low profile and getting on google maps planning new routes.
You think maybe it's the bike? Maybe if I had a high end thing I'd enjoy it more? Maybe I am just not into off-road?
