My New Mountain Bike - Specialized FSR XC Comp

I bought a new 2007 Specialized FSR XC Comp a few weeks ago and figured I should take a few pictures while it was still clean. This is my first full suspension mountain bike, and am very happy with it so far.

I have always been nervous to buy one being a bigger guy, but this thing is a rock. I have ran it hard in Hartshorne Woods County Park (Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey), Allaire State Park (Wall, Monmouth County, New Jersey), Wawayanda State Park (Hewitt, Passaic County, New Jersey) and Mercer County Park (West Windsor Township, Mercer County, New Jersey) so far and have loved every minute. The only "issue" I have found so far is that I have to relearn how to ride. Going uphill is a large challenge. I blame myself and not the bike of course since I just need to learn how to place my body and not just lose all the power. But that'll come in time.
