I know it's a bike forum, but I didn't mind the car pics(and the arguements afterwards! ). I ALMOST bought that same exact bike at my LBS, but ran into a great deal for a cannondale Jekyll FS for $600. I've always loved Haro's since my freestylin' days, and that seems like a good bike! Now you just need to supercharge it with a 14 psi pulley!

Which one Arbor Hills or L.B. Houston?

I think Arbor Hills may be a bit on the technical side for a complete beginner like myself. I hit my pedals on roots/rocks a couple 3 times before i learned to keep the pedals even while going over them...common sense goes a long way

I'm also not used to what gear for what kind of section, downhill/climb/open flats, etc etc.

Hey man nice find. The price on these things are incredable, especially for a guy who doesn't have a large chunk of money like myself. I bought an 06' V4 8 months ago and I have done nothing but ride the hell out of it and of course upgrade some components along the way to make it feel less like a Sherman tank. Can't wait for the Judy 1 to explode though so I have a reason to toss it too. So Ride hard man, and oh yea, get rid of those stinking reflecters, lol...

no such thing as mountain bike lessons, just go out and ride with someone thats better and faster than you, and you'll pick up skill in no time.
