Wow, a new mountain-bike!

I got my current mountain bike in 2005 and it has lasted me nine seasons. For a while I seriously thought this would be my last one. Funny how these machines lifespan match those of passports, yeah, every ten years...

The new one I just got today should, in all probability, last me another decade. Will there be a replacement one down the single-trail, come year 2023? We'll see, but I remain quite optimistic...
