If you do. Ride what you have See what kind of a rider he is in comparison.
Maybe he's real fast and then it gives you an excuse to buy a better bike.
Maybe he's real slow and you've shown up. Got bored and spent a few thousand and he thinks you have too much money

I have my eye on a Stumpjumper FSR Expert. Maybe, just maybe.

If you don't care what an expensive bike says to your boss go for it. If he might care. Tread softly. Maybe borrow a bike. You may not like it. You'd have to be dead to not like it but hey......I've seen worse.

I half-want the right bike to not come off as a douche to the boss, but at the same time this is one of those things that I see myself doing long term (so long as there are trails available to me anyway). So many of my friends think I'm crazy for never having gotten started with all the trails around here (Joplin!) so...I might just get the right XC bike to begin with.
