I think I'd heard of the Troll before now, for being a solid bike, but I only just now looked into it. Sounds similar what I've turned my Hardrock into. I've added touring pedals, a road saddle, more water bottle holders (can you really ever have too many?), and grips that would belong more on a hybrid. I'm sure you could do that with just about any bike, but it seems like the Troll is pretty much designed to have that happen, so I'd say go for it. Though depending on where your "un-beaten" paths are, maybe you'd want to look at a Fat Tire?

Yeah, I was throwing around the Fat Tire idea but wanted to get some more info first. Thanks for the reply!

A coach on my mountain biking team has one, and it's like he doesn't even notice the ascents. Or sand, or rock gardens. They seem to basically be hovercraft.
