Normally my NBD shots are of some glamorous backcountry location. However, 48 hrs after buying my new-to-me 2020 Salsa Cutthroat, photo #2 happened.
So Cuttie stands sentinel in the garage while we find out if this is meniscal (weeks) or an ACL (6-9 mos).
Currently bone stock 2020 (new model) Cutthroat w/SRAM 1x??. Previous owner put about 200 miles on it towing the kids in a trailer on local rail trails. Got it for a song, with plans of parting out my self-built Nine RLT aluminum gravel bike and selling my BMC FS MTB. I will probably take those proceeds and 'spring' for front suspension.
I hit N+1 several months ago, so this was a way to get onto rougher terrain, bike pack, AND keep (make) my wife happy.
I guess I'll spend the next while working on route finding for my "spine of Utah" idea (north to south ride along the Wasatch range).
Spin the cranks for me a few times, y'all…

did the injury happen on the bike or unrelated?
That bike is sweet. Must be so hard to let it sit. Get better soon!
You can’t post an injury photo without the details!? 😤
Bro I’m 16 weeks post acl and hitting 40-50 mile mtb days. It’s not that bad.
