I just wanted to send out a post thanking all the folks that helped guide me to a new bike. I tend to over research and take a long time to pull the trigger, and this site was of great help. I purchased a 06 Gary Fisher Marlin for $419. I had to drive for an hour to find a not quite local bike shop, but they were helpfull with setting up a few bikes for me to try. I felt little difference in the Specialized Rockhopper vs the GF, other than the brakes on the Specialized seemed to bite harder. Given the GF had possibly better hardware and was $100 less...it was an easy call to make. Even if the GF only came in purple ! ( Special close out buy thing. Probably the worst selling color, I guess. )

Dude, where's the pix?

I didn't know it was expected. Besides, if I HAD posted one, then we would have missed all the above..."stuff" !

Awwwwwwwwww come on! You don't know the rules? You get a new bike, you gotta share the pics! We just figured since you didn't supply any, we had to do SOMETHING to keep this thread alive until you do. So...........let's see whatcha got!! :)

OK. I'll go take a few shots of the bike. Once I figure out how to keep it standing, without a kick stand.

lay your bike beside a pole, that should make it stand :D

Use a rock or lean it against a wall/tree/whatever.

I took some shots, with the bike held in place by a WorkMate on the ground. But...I still use film, so..I'll post shortly.
