After looking a little more I really like this bike http://bicyclewarehouse.com/site/ite...=39&sort=Price Is specialized a good brand??? I haven't really had a bike in a couple years, and the bikes I had when I was a kid were always walmart specials That Kona looks pretty nice, my friend has a Kona and he really likes it. I'll see if I can find a local dealer. There a shop about 2 blocks away from where I live that sells specialized, so thats a plus. Just so that I'll know what are some high quality brands and what are a few that I should steer clear of?
