6 months with the new Rocky Montain Altitude

The Altitude is a new platform from Rocky Mountain starting last year, putting the awkward ETSX to rest. For 2010 the bike comes back with new colors and more models available. This 5.5" travel all mountain rig has a unique new geometry. The first thing you notice is that the seat tube angle is steeper putting your knees right over the center of your pedals.... a revelation for longer travel bikes. This new geometry allows you to use your legs more effectively and relieve stress on your lower back. The bike is predictable and climbs like a machine while soaking up both big and little hits and keeping the tires glued to the ground . The bike is stiffer than most in the back end which shows up the moment you throw it into faster turns. The Altitude is built in both an aluminum frame and full carbon with many build options and custom kits available. For more info check out Rocky Mountain at www.bikes.com

New layout

Ok, I have changed the template for the blog and hopefully it takes care of the randomly missing text. Please let me know if it is still a problem for any of you.
