Noooooooooo... I have years working in the cycling industry and they are everything that is wrong with the industry. Them and the big S. We should start a bike thread though.

HAWAAAAAAA???????

I'm still a relative newcomer so any advice would definitely help!

I've checked out a couple FUJIs and Diamondbacks (random note....Sport Chalet out here has them...with upgrades....which was shocking) and they don't seem half bad either.

All-in-all I just don't want to make the awful choice I made back in 2008 road bike wise (won't even mention the brand out of embarrassment).

Worst $500 I've ever spent in retrospect.

Still put 3500 miles on the bastard and it's still ridable...I guess it served it's purpose.

Nope Specialized. They bully bike shops into taking everything they sell and to drop all their other brands. Then they sue other smaller companies for patent infringements while stealing other company's technology. Lots of bad juju...

And this is related to Trans States because...um...the management...and um...whipsaw. We should resurrect one of the bike threads. It was my life before flying.

We all make mistakes in life. Who has two thumbs and made the same mistake? Yeah...

That's not cool. Bullies suck. From what little I know about bikes, I was thinking Giant. But I have a lot of research to do before then, this is just the beginning.



We talk about what we want here! But you right, we should take it to a thread for everybody.

I have to say that my specialized rockhopper was the best $50 I have ever spent. Bought it at a yard sale, dont think the guy knew what he had.
