New mountain bike trail opening in Frisco

[fordracing19]

I've been looking closely at the ROCKHOPPER COMP 29 and like bikes.

That's what I have and like it when I'm not too lazy to ride.

My first introduction to trail riding was the Grapevine trail. Holy mother of fuck was it hard. Ain't been back since.

If you rode at Northshore, then yes, not exactly beginner level, and if you were on a cheap bike it only makes it worse.

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

Does it include any of this?

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

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.

Found a decent Scwhinn at Target for $179.90. Let's do this!

I'm kidding, relax Adam.

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.

Why on Earth would you recommend that bike for trails?

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.
