Then I wanted to ride some trails in the niehborhood, so I got the coolest looking 50 pound mountain bike they had. It had disc brakes in the front and shocks...Besides the bad shifting it actually worked pretty well. Each time I returned the bikes within 30 days and got a full refund, my reason was that I was just going to look at a different model. They really need to do something about the return policy. Anyway thats what I would do if I were in a different city on vacation.
