Hey great web site I have been looking everwhere for a place like this on the web where I can ask Questions. This is probably a really dumb question but could someone explain the veiws option to me. I have just recently got into Mt.Biking and was totaly overwelmed by all the different brands and products out there. My last Mt.Bike was a Precission from the Sears cataloge. As I didn't know anybody to talk to about what was a good bike I did most of my research by looking in as many shops as possible and asking the employees, what they probably thought were a lot of dumb Questions. I also bought a lot of bike magazines. I setled on a Rocky Mt. Fanatik, because I liked the ride. It was also reasonably priced. It will be nice to talk to somebody other than a salesman about products that I am curious about.
Thanks

Selecting no will show a hyperlink instead.


If you mean View New Posts at the top of each page, that displays all new posts since last time you logged in.
I think that's right isn't it Joe?
