In college I had a StumpJumper...best bike I've ever owned. Got stolen outside of work one day.

I'm actually thinking about running to Village Cycle and picking up a Gary Fisher. Or a Trek 8k series.

haha...i have 2 Trek 3700, not as nice as the 8k series but I am not very happy with them. I think there bikes have take some steps back.

Brian has a Gary Fisher bike that he likes alot. I never had one before. My "rock chipper" "entry" level MTN bike will do me just fine I have the other bikes as my beaters "or" daily drivers!

come check it out! the shop is 5 min from me we can get you the same bike and throw it in the car

so what do you ladies say! Plan a trip for August?? Head up to WI for some extreme MTN biking!!

Matt,

I would definitly stick with either Gary Fisher or Specialized only. You get what you pay for and plan to spend at least 8 bills for an awesome "solid Tail." It is a great alternative to a pricy gym membership.

**** yah!!! Kettle Moraine (North or South)
There is a great bar and grill up there outside of Whitewater if we hit south trails.


If we do the North Moraine, during the day we can hit this that night of 4pm-ish
Also Generac500 is in a week or so...I want to go to that.

I really want to see that TDI Audi kick *** at night.

2 Legs and 1 Arm if you want the Lance Armstrong signature then its everything you got! lol...

where are you? I can let you know where I got mine from. Get on the specialized site. You can spend 600~6000 After I get out on the bike I can tell you more but they are to bee the ****. I have a used MTN bike for 100$ if you want that for starters hit me up!
