The Road biker gets his mountain bike
I have never been much of a mountain biker, and for a while now I had just been strictly a road biker. I saw a good deal on a used mountain bike so I got it:
It's a Gary Fisher Chro-Mo True-Temper double butten tube frame. Syncros Hardcore and Shimano Deore DX and XT components. Although they are 3-4 years old.
I just have to get rid of the protective cloth tape on the frame. I hate it.
The paint on the crank arms have chipped exposing the metal and rusting has started. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix that?
I payed $450 Canadian ($300 US) for the bike itself, and $50 extra for the complete toolset and the carrier bag.
Wasn't a bad purchase was it? I'm inexperienced with mtn bike purchases so I'm not sure.
