alright so i've been doing all the research and whatnot...and my lbs is offering me an 07 rockhopper for $600. Is this a good deal? If i go for it...what else should I buy when I go in there? all i plan on getting right now is the bike and a helmet.....

That's not nearly enough info about the bike. A components list would help give people a better idea of what value you're getting.

oh sorry...i don't have the list of components on me...but its just the standard base model.....

i'll post much more detail soon..

Go to the Specialized site to see base modle prices. Im getting an 07 Comp for $880 ($941 w/taxes).

bad deal, unless specialized raised their prices for '07 by $80. The '06 base rockhopper was $520

Flair1111, you mean comp disc rite?? $880 for a regular comp is kinda high

alright so im going to go buy this bike (hopefully talk him down a little too)....what else do i need to be buying. Im getting bike, helmet, spare tubes, already have airpump... am i missing anything?

flair1111

Yeah I meant comp disc.

How about an Alien multitool?

High? 880$ is the MSRP and its a 2007 model which isn't even out "officially", why would it be "kinda high".

I just bought a base model 2007 Rockhopper for $500, I don't know if that'll help at all? Maybe comparison wise.

He said comp in his first post, not comp disc. Therefore, $880 is high for a regular comp without disc brakes. He clarified it already in a follow-up post.

i would think specialized dropped the "disc" out for comp because all specialized bikes have discs at the comp level nowadays. there's only a few mountain bikes on their line for 06 that come with v's: stumpjumper (base), rockhopper (base), hardrock sport, p.street, and fsrxc (not counting kid's and women's mtb).
