Seeing as you have a much better bike then I do
:) is it still ok for the price? And any comments on the 04 Raligh(sp?) C40 that I already own?

Sorry about all the questions, I guess I just want to learn about biking because now it is one of my favorite things to do

I really wouldn't want that even as a beater, and that's not because I'm being a snob. Check out the $500 MTB page at the top of the Mountain Bike section. The C40 is a comfort bike

The question I have for you is do you like it? Does it fit you well? Is this the correct bike for your usage? Are you planning on using this bike off road? If so I agree with Raiyn. If not then as long as you like it that is all that matters.

Specs for a low-end Mtn.Bike in my opinion....
Whatever serves your purpose though.
