Here is an image of my beloved Moots Mooto-X YBB 10th Anniversary Limited Edition. I’ve been tinkling and building bikes ever since I was 8-years-old, back when we had to order parts from the BMX Plus and Mountain Bike Action magazines (you know what I’m talking about)! I’ve built numerous bikes for friends and family, as well as, some great bikes for myself to race and “freeride” over the years. However, it wasn’t until lately that I had an opportunity to build my dream bike – my ONE bike. I wanted to build a bike that was just not loaded with superb components, but a practical bike that can efficiently navigate what is in my mind directly onto the trails. I have been a great fan of Moots for many decades, but I could never in my wildest dreams believe I would have one parked in the stable. Cycling is beyond a passion for me, it is an integral part of a lifelong equation spun on a centripetal axle that spits out all that I feel in my heart and soul, and my MXYBB is the ultimate solution from crown to dropouts. Special thanks to everyone at Moots for always inspiring me with your creations, especially when I was 8-years-old drooling over those few pages of bike ecstasy. So from Elf Double Cross to the modern Moots, it’s been a wonderful journey on two wheels and I can’t wait until tomorrow for it to continue all over again. ~TA
