Good advice, Born2B.

I'm going to do that. I still have a few other shops I want to check out, but whatever shop I buy at, I'll definitely have them do that.

In you guys' opinon, what's the better bike for the money, the standard Rockhopper, or the Hardrock Pro? RH retails for 500, HR Pro is 549.

I'll probably end up upgrading it in the future, so what's the better frame to start with? Thanks.
