What does the community think?
2006 Specialized RockHopper Comp Blue 17" *New-Mint*
Cannondale 25KG Cap. Rack
AveNir Small Panniers
Specialized Helmet Air Force 3 White
Specialized RibCage Pro MTB Blue
Bulldog miniDT Lock system
I'm thinking later on that I would want to snag a pair of slicks for the bike to increase speed a bit, and possibly swap it to disc brakes since this year also had a disc brake option... but am not sure if I will need it.
Note: I've been riding around 6 miles+ a day, and have lost around 30lbs so far approx. 2 months.. I hope to do much better with this new bike.
http://www.maxxis.com/ Go to products then scroll down to bikes, I like the HookWorms ONLY because Philly has really bad streets but they have much nicer "cruiser" type tires for nicely paved streets too
the "detonator" looks like a really nice tire
