To be honest I have NEVER seen a bike like mine in the six monts Ive had it.
Most people who spend as much as I did usually get a F/S.  Please dont get offended. I sorry

Oh and a trek 4300 is not the same as a 8000 as the trance isnt the same as a reign.

If you buy someone's mistake you can get a Ells for $1700. That happens to be exactly what my buddy spent on his and you couldn't tell that it was used. Have to be patient for those kind of deals though.

Dude was like "oh my god this bike is so awesome" and that caused him to get distracted.

Holy cow I stirred the pot.  I just was wondering what happen to GT bikes. I didn't know they make wally world bikes... that is a turn off. I was also wondering why a $1,700 bike spec doesn't show the weight spec. I see a lot of gary fishers, Cannondales, specialized and Giant's.  Those seem to be the most popular name tags.
