I'm So Hi...........FI










Yeah, I am fly'n HI, HiFi that is. Check out the newest addition to my arsenal. It is an '09 Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe. It has an awesome paint scheme, glossy, sparkly, white with dark blue graphics and charcoal colored carbon seatstays. She's a real beaut.
I made a few upgrades from the stock model although, it already came with a nice spec. Most of the parts came off the Fuel EX. I added Bontrager Race X Lite carbon bar and seatpost. Put on SRAM Attack twist shifters and XTR derailleur, SRAM 990 cassette and XT crank set. One last add on was the gold Bontrager cable housings which added a real cool look.
So here is the break down.

Took the HIFI out for a lil break in ride at White Park today and it was a real delight. I think it's going to be a great addition to the family. Need to make a few adjustments to the suspension setup to tune it in. Going to throw it around at Coopers tomorrow on an out and back ride, I so excited I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. It's like Christmas Eve.
We're going to take a break during the ride tomorrow to watch Anna run the Coopers 10K and cheer her on. Last year she got first in her class. She's looking for a repeat.
No Steve for the ride tomorrow, he's still working the Super Sale down at the home base (aka Wamsley's). So go down and support your LBS and make it worth Steve's ride sacrifice.
I'll let you know how the HiFi performs at Coopers and soon there maybe some news concerning Jeremy's Race bike. One more Superfly to the crew.
Later,
Josh
