Thank you, FamilyMan007. I agree that the most important thing is to enjoy the bike. It is always nice to receive validation about a decision or purchase that you have made.

I appreciate your words of wisdom about not worrying about spending a few extra dollars in the beginning. I was very hesitant to do so at first, but the more that I thought about it, the more sense it made to get the best bike that I could reasonably afford. Hopefully, the Quick Disc 1 will be as much fun as I think that it will be.
