Woo-hoo! I finally bought a bike today! Thanks to Corey, Mark, and Dan for the bike loans in the meantime while I shopped, and thanks to everybody for their input and advice! It was a long process because right when I thought I knew a good bike for me, I'd try a new kind of riding and it would throw my plans askew. I think I got a bike that I'll be able to do DH, XC, and freeriding on... and one that I will be able to "grow into" as well.
Jenn's New Bike!
After talking to almost every store in No. VA, I decided to see what kind of deal I could get from a shop a little away from the city. I bought it at the Bike Stop at Mountain's Edge in Culpeper, VA. I got a sweet deal on it! Real cool shop. I'd highly recommend them. Ask for Eric. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be riding such a nice bike.![Smile :) :)](/images/smilies/xsmile.gif)
It's available in silver but mine's what I call "pirate" black. (Matte.)
Yarrrr!
