Took the plunge today!!!!

Tried out Specialized, Jamis and Trek. Jamis didn't feel as good as the Specialized and the Treks were more expensive for whatever reason. Specialized had close-out deals on their 2011's so grabbed up a 2011 Hardrock Sport 26er. Apparently it's one of the last 2011 Hardrock sport 26ers in the area. Lots of 29ers though (I'm not saying 29ers are any worse - I wouldn't know, but it seems like a reason there's a push for them at bike shops is because, well, you pay more for them [Hardrock sport 29er was about $80 more]).

Sorry for the weird camera shot haha. My regular camera was taken out by a freak accident involving a two-year old and a stick. So I used my GoPro lol.
