Got my new bike
I decided to get the Trek 4300, I tried it out on some trails, MUP's and roads and so far am very glad I got it. The only thing so far that it isn't as good at compared with my road bike is speed. I have to keep pedaling even going downhill to keep my speed up, which isn't so bad as it's good cardio. I haven't put on many miles like some guys do, but 30 give or take isn't bad in two days.

Right now just carry a tire pressure gauge, and some allen wrenches. I've used this light considerably. For some reason it seems brighter while on Mtn. bike compared to my road bike, must be just because it's slightly higher above ground. It cost MSRP which is $419.99; unfortunately my LBS doesn't ever discount bikes, though they give a 10% discount on accessories if you buy a bike from them.
