Yeah - now I have a FS and a HT, depending on my mood.
In fact (weather permitting), I'm going to take this little monster out tomorrow and see what it'll do.
Man - you haven't lived until you try to shop for a decent, newish mountain bike. I swear - I never had such a hard time nailing someone down to give them money. No pictures, no sizes, poor communication skills, haphazard approach to actually meeting and selling their bikes. I called on one bike, and he never called back. But the ad keeps expiring and being re listed. I've watched it though 3 cycles - the words change a little bit, but same pics, phone number, and location.
It was a painful 3 week process, but I finally got this guy on the hook long enough to actually meet me and exchange his bike for my cash. But it was nip and tuck, all the way to the wire.
If I never hear the phrases "text me" or "hit me up" again, it'll be too soon.
