Well, it was mountain bike day at the garage sale today. Bought all four bikes at one sale. Pretty nice Gary Fisher and a couple of nice Treks (the 7000 might be my size, oops), and a nice Women's Specialized. Just sold my last women's bike yesterday, so I kind of needed a recharge. I wish the Gary Fisher was a little bigger, it looks to be a nice bike. FWIW: I bought a bike from this guy at his last garage sale (last year).

All four bikes were made in the USA. Can't remember the last time that happened.

On the various flip threads, I have stated that you should never buy a mtb. I need to amend that comment. At the right price, you can flip mtbs. You just have to be very careful about parts spending and pick them up pretty cheap. These bikes all need very little or nothing, just a good clean up and some adjustments. I already have the Specialized ready to go.
