Hoo Koo E Koo?
Hi, everybody! I've been driving myself crazy trying to find a mountain bike that fits, has decent components, and doesn't put me in the poorhouse. Ordinarily, I'm a road bike guy, but some of the guys I ride with have obtained mountain bikes and left me out on the road by my lonesome (not such a bad thing; I really do enjoy solo rides).
Anyway, after one too many times listening to their excited chatter and laughter about their adventures in the woods without me, I've decided to pick up my first mountain bike. I found a 1993 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo in great shape on craigslist for $200. Seller measured it for me - 19". Right in my size range according to charts.
My question is - is this a reputable mountain bike? From what I've learned by searching the internet, I should pick it up. Can someone confirm that this bike is worth $200? Everything is original (including RockShox suspension fork) except seat.
Should I go for it? I'd really appreciate any feedback y'all can offer. Thanks!
