Mountain Biking on the road

i got me a mountain bike. i love it. mine is a giant. very cool ride. oh, it's the giant, iguana. i only do bike trails. we got lots of them here in denver and boulder. i could be wrong, but i think we got the best bike trails in the whole of the us of a!

i highly recommend this mountain bike.

 

have fun and be safe, lex.

 

thanks. will do.

try not to wear the ass out, bill. them are chick magnets. you just gotta work it!

It's a road bike. 2003 model. I can get it for $500, which is a pretty good price. I still can't believe how much bikes costs now, but this is suppose to be a good price for the bike.

 

$500.00 is a rediculously low price for a bike. if you get into riding you will want a serious upgrade. $1700.00 gets you on a bike that weighs conciderably less and has much better componentry. better componentry equals a smoother ride a smoother rides makes for a much more enjoyable ride.

do yourself a favor from the beginning. get clippless peddles and shoes. it will be worth the extra $$. try ebay for these. the basket peddles won't cut it. you cannot activate your hamstrings, or develope a smooth spin unless you go clipless

 

I ride at Beatty occasionally. It's pretty tame compared to Catawba and Renaissance. I have a K2 4000 dual suspension bike with XT and XTR components, a WTB wheelset, and other assorted goodies. It's been so muddy recently, it's not much fun to ride. Hoping for a drought.

 

nice ride, i am on a fisher sugar 3. love it on the trails, wish it were a hard tail on the road

 

Thanks for the info WilliamJ. I found out that 5-6 hundered bucks was very cheap for a bike when I started looking. I had no idea they cost so much. I've been wanting to ride but just recently started riding with a group, so I decided to get my own bike. Then I found out how much they were, but I had my friends look at it and they all thought it had good components for the $$ so I bought it today. I just can't afford more than that. I really couldn't afford that much. We're going out tomorrow morning, so I get to take it out. It should be fun as long as the weather cooperates and it doesn't downpour in the morning.

 

William doesn't know shit - you don't need to spend $1700 on a bike to ride...$500 can get you going really nicely. It's not like you're trying to be a competitive racer...just make sure you've got good brakes and a seat, and you'll have fun.

WORD UP!

 

Anybody want to meet out at Francis Beatty Park about 10am Monday morning? I'm still a bit out of shape, but I'll try to keep up.
