BDII Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 So I decided that the whole going to the gym thing wasnt working out so well, and im easily distracted by the hot womenz... I need a way to get back in shape and since hockey is only one night a week I figured I would give mountain biking a chance. so I did a little research and I found that the most bang for my buck came in the form of the Raleigh Mojave 4.0 CLICK HERE I paid $350 plus I bought a few other neccentals like a helmet, gloves, grip curls, camel back pack, bike rack,speedometer, pump and nice set of timberlane riding shoes. Anyway, if you ride post up what you got and maybe a good story or 2. Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REM87O Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Congrats on your purchase! I bet that if you really get turned on by riding that you will be upgrading the bike in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 How many times did it break between A and B:lol: actually, other than the gearing problems, and the fact that it weighed 75lbs... it really wasnt a bad bike. On a steep downgrade I got it up to 42mph once. Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Nice - wish I could get back on a bike, but with the busted up ankle, this is a no go. Enjoy and keep us appraised of your progress.

BDII Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Actually, it is not impotence that the seats can cause, it is infertility... get your facts straight! Nice bike, what kind of rack are you getting for the car now? I think I will take up xc riding this summer again, been years since I have had a bike. I got a cheapo BELL trunk mount for now. Like I said in another thread... $320 is just to much for me to spend on a Thule rack. Im still looking though. Need forum help?

coxx Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 dude, you're gonna love it. I started riding a few years ago & now I'm anxiously awaiting some nice weather to go hit the trails again. I would def say replace the seat with the one they make for fat ass women. Much wider so it doesnt go right up your ass "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 http://www.gtbicycles.com/ anything in this price range is 'Made in China', so the brand doesn't really matter. It's all marketing and parts selection. And paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssaldana Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 http://www.gtbicycles.com/ After they went bankrupt their product output has decreased drastically and the quality of their bikes remains questionable. Although with that said, I still love my Avalanche I also own a full suspension specialized xc which I barely use here in VA. Bu11dogg2: Check out craigslist in your area. Used thule/yakima racks are being sold between 100-150 every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderguy Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 http://www.rockymounts.com/noose.html These are direct bolt-on's to the factory rack, plus they have colors other than the basic black - makes finding your car in the parking lot easier! I'm using 2 of these, they work great & have a lot less wind noise with the sunroof than an add-on rack. Consequently, my Thule rack is for sale...
