Well I pickd up a '07 Rockhopper with a few upgrades locally. Should be a solid bike for newbie And I ordered a set of BB7 brakes. Will be upgrading to X7 shifters soon as the stock ones really blow. Thanks again for the advice guys.. Aaron
Brian, thanks for the advice. I was planning on sticking with a hardtail, I think I'm gonna check out the Trek store this afternoon and see if they've got any leftovers and get a feel for a few different bikes. Right now I'm looking at the 3 and 4 series with the chance of a 6 series. I need have a ton to learn tho, so I'm in no rush to buy one. Thanks again guys.
Looking for an entry level Mountain Bike. Size 16/18. Trek, Rocky Mountain, Raleigh, Fisher, Cannondale, etc. Price range isnt really high tho. And if you have any advice on choosing a bike, I'm all ears! Thanks!! Aaron
Geez a lot of hating on the RX8..I agree its not the best follow-up to the beauty that the FD was, but still a very impressive hp output for an n/a 1.3L. The automatic version in the other hand, is horrible. The 8 can easy do 130+ IMO. I miss my ole' rx7, someday I'll get another or two, one LSx and one rotary.
