  1. I have been shooting Gamo guns, but there are many out there to choose from. Plenty of info on the net for what people like and don't like. I think if you can find any break barrel in the 120 to 220 price range you cant go wrong. Then shoot the hell out of it , do some research to find out find something that will suit your needs better. You will find these things addictive and a lot of fun to shoot. They can be highly accurate and deadly on small game. They can be like Lays potato chips....you cant only have one....Good Luck

    Any old trainer will be fine. Just make sure you buy the proper quick release skewer (axle) that fits it. Used on CL is where I got mine. You may want to purchase a trainer specific tire so you don't chew up your road tire. 

    Thanks, I will see what is out there.  I can through on a ole cheap wall mart tire for the winter months.

    I understand not wanting to do CX races  :-)  But the bikes themselves are really well suited to a wide range of terrain.

    I've been lucky enough to get to follow some of the local bike racers around for the last few years, taking pictures.  Here's an album of pics from last years Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships down in Louisville KY.  If cyclocross is sometimes viewed as a semi-insane offshoot of "real" bike racing, then single speed CX is a totally insane offshoot of cyclocross :-)

    Pretty cool....wish I was younger.

  6. Just a little up date:  No matter what I do my pics are to big to post, so I will just make a comment.

    I never thought that there would be that much difference  from a cheap bike to a good one. The ease of peddling and moving the new bike is so great, even though I am bent over more then I wanted to be the comfort of the bike is great and the hard tail to me is not bad at all. I added a seat post back rack and a cheap speeometer which is kinda cool to see how fast you went the average speed you went and how may miles you have done. This has made biking more fun then a chore. The ole lady now enjoys going out for much longer rides with her new Vita. I wish I was a lot younger then 60, but life moves fast and having a 7 year old around to keep me moving has been great. I would like to thank everyone for the good advice, I think I made a good choice on spending the extra bucks to get something I am very happy with. Thanks again guys.
