are those small block 8 tires? they hook up pretty darn well here in San Diego where we actually have hills so they'll probably do really well in Florida where the tallest things in the state are the buildings!

do you SS already or are you new to it? I have nothing but praise for the guys I see who can ride their SS up the hill I'm quietly grinding away in my baby ring.

I'm hoping to have a new bike for X-mas this year too.....I'm currently riding a Yeti ARC hardtail but have been trying to buy a 575 for 3 years now. I'm hoping this is the year!
