Good for you Harrison, glad you were able to have someone give you a free mountain bike. I don't have that luxury nor do I care to waste money on a $200 craigslist bike that's going to have cheap components that won't hold up to the elements over time. I'm not new to bike riding by any means. I raced road bikes for a couple years right out of high school and I know what I'm looking for, so yes, I can justify spending $1000 on a bike. I also know that I'll ride the wheels off of a bike when I get one.
Right on! Keep saving, I'm gonna go enjoy the fall weather

I encourage it, this weather has been badass and I hope it sticks around for a while.

I've been looking closely at the ROCKHOPPER COMP 29 and like bikes.
How much do you wanna spend? I might have my stock 2009 Comp Disc 29er on the market in the next month. If 3fingpete will cut me a deal on his niner frameset.

Hey hey there, I'm on the hunt for a Trek (4500 I think) on craigslist right now. AND the reason for that is because its going to be my first bike. I am not an avid mtb rider. But if I got into it a LOT then I would think about spending the coin on a good bike..
It comes with hybrid tires but you can swap them out for a size larger mountain tires.
It comes with hybrid tires due to the fact it isn't designed to be bashed on trails that aren't paved . I'm pretty sure I would destroy that bike in a month of riding at cedar hill or cleburne state park. I got a used epic hardtail on crags list for 600 a few years ago and it was perfect for the majority of trails around here . My next bike will be a FS specialized stump jumper .

I have only been to one trail and that's Isle Du Bois at Ray Roberts, I have been there half a dozen times or more and its a little much (for me) so hopefully this one is easier so I will go more often.
That's not a beginner trail by any means. On the bright side, if you develop your skills at that trail, it makes the rest of the trails in DFW that much easier. Loop D or E (forget which) out there is where men are made.

Rockhoppers are great! Just stay away from RBM. If you are anywhere near Plano, Plano Cycling & Fitness will be your best best. Look at Bikes Plus, etc. Can't stand RBM though. Any of their stores.
