haha good luck riding in the snow!
at the moment i have an older avanti xc, small frame, all shimano too. i havent got rid of it because its so light (11kg) and easy to throw around. but i am 6'2" and i think its time to upgrade. there is one of these at my local bike shop for $2300, but cash is always cheaper!

hehe.
i have too many hobbies that i phase through... each one tends to claim me for 3-12 month spans where i neglect pretty much every other hobby until that wave passes and i cycle to a different hobby. each one tends to showcase my obsessive compulsive disorder to its fullest.
in no particular order:
1. guitar
2. independent music (cd's & records)
3. movies (mostly foreign, independent, classics, and noir)
4. video games (both current and retro, mostly console RPG's)
5. literature (mostly philosophical fiction)
6. poetry (mostly writing)
7. anime (japanese animation)*
8. disc golf (aka frisbee golf)
9. cooking
10. lifting weights
*denotes my particular hobby of choice right now.
if it involves collecting/accumulating, i likely have a bookshelf dedicated to it :P

I'm exactly the same zentropa! Except for the movies and weight lifting part.
I'd have to substitute in comics and drawing/painting for those. Long live OCD! |

I used to play a lot of Waterpolo and swim but now mostly i only play/train with the 3rd team a couple of times a week....a mix of all the old bastards like me and the kids coming through...... ... these days the guitar is my main 'hobby' although i'm gigging so much it's nearly a job these days... not that i'm complaining....!!! .......and posting here of course... i also am starting to get interested in the electronic side of things,mainly to keep the amps up and running...got the Marshall back up and running but i'm having a few probs with the Musicman.... might have to pick Dr Bobs/Lauries Brains a little about this one.....if they can spare the time..... |

Besides bass, I also play guitar, both acoustic and electric
I collect a lot of stuff from one of my favourite ever bassplayers, Billy Sheehan, mostly old magazines, Japanese TAB books, CD's and DVD's.
I like watching old B-movies from the 70's and 80's.
And lastly I'm also getting more and more into collecting Boss pedals, for which I blame this here forum
