I want to see your bikes from Walmart, Sears, JCPenny, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Thrifty, Sav-on, etc. Let's see some of those gmc denalis, mongoose, schwinn bikes, etc. :thumb:

Yah, be good for a beater, I mean, if you break it on a ride, you are not out 2 grand at least.

That's the thing, the bike would probably break before the 10k mark, lol. But if you were able to manage 10k miles on say a $100 or less road bike without any thing breaking, and only investing in...

Well there is no such thing as a brand new $79 road bike any ways. Cheapest on WalMart is $158.

Wal Mart? $79 is a good deal. Not sure where the profit would be in making a $79 road bike though. $10 frame, $10 wheelset, $10 tires, $10 for inner tubes...what the heck. That's a steal. Links...

I don't know about that one. If you were taught early that you get what you pay for...well, nuff said. While I think there are good deals on BD, that wellington sure as hell aint. Oh and no surprise...

I wouldn't expect much from a $300 bike. I'm surprised the owner would pay to get the bike tuned. You buy online you should be prepared to do your own wrenching.

A bike like this I would just...

General Thoughts on 08 Stumpjumper FSR 29 for 2k

Guy is selling this on craigslist for $2000. It's a 2008 model. MSRP is $4100, but I'm guessing it's not really a $4100 bike right?

I have found a thread where people have put drops on a 29er, so I am going to figure out how I can do that with mine. I'd be happy if I can get 20-22mph on flats in ideal conditions once I put high...

Is it true though that the frame on this thing is 6lbs without the fork? I red this on a review. That seems a bit heavy, but I bet the nice ride makes up for it. I'm not a weight weenie but I do plan...

Sounds like it's unanimous, an mtb will not keep up with a roadie even with slicks. Oh well, guess I'll just find out if that's so after I get one.

I could afford it but I don't think I'd be caught dead on a 7 grand bike unless I won a stage in the TDF or something. The Op says he races it so perhaps he does ride with the pros like Lance so that...

So perhaps a 29er with no front suspension to reduce shock travel, and maybe a different set of bars so I can get a bit of a more aero dynamic position...or perhaps just make adjustments to the seat...

29er MTB with slicks Vs. Road Bike

Thought I'd ask this question on this forum since many of you guys may of been dropped by MTBers on the road or have both an MTB and road bike and can make some speed comparisons. I have chosen an...

You know what, I just don't want a CX bike. I don't like the looks of a CX bike I guess. I like the geometry and style of a MTB, and I just feel that an MTB would be a lot more rugged and would feel...

Faster on the Pavement: 29er HT or 29er Full Suspension?

Right now I'm eyeing a regular HT 29er with front suspension. I could also get a 08 Specialized Stumpjumper 29er that has a full suspension.

Reason I want an MTB to be fast on the pavement is I...
